Optimal height for Radions?
My two Radions came in today. I am making a canopy for my 75 gal RR tank and I would like to know what is the optimal height they should be mounted above the tank? Any help or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Check some of the major reefing sites. Pretty sure I remember seeing a thread with them.

I think a lot of it depends on your rock work. I have 3 towers that go pretty much to the top of my tank. In hind sight I probably should have mounted them a little higher. Mine are currently perpendicular to the front im going to be changing them to parallel.
Since they are going to be in a canopy maybe make them adjustable. My halides were mounted to a board. I had 3 ledges on each side of the canopy. It allowed me to move them up and down as needed. Was great when I got new bulbs or needed to have access to the tank.

I constantly splash mine even though I try not to.
I'm sure if I was more carful, it could be avoided but I still use the old "pour the bucket of new water into the dt" instead of being reasonable about the situation and using one of the 5+ pumps I have lying around.
I've got plenty of water in the fan, on the pucks and in the heat sink. I'm willing to bet the owner who hit his with a tube soaked his to the point of any fixture failing.
The splash mine took appeared to be on the surface in non sensitive areas. I think its likely that something shorted in the fan. Regardless, I could not be more pleased with the light and with the customer services. Just be careful its not a brainless pendant!!

Ill have to say that the radion ws probly the best investment I've made for my tank.I've seen amazing growth in my corals since adding it.just the overall look of the tank is stunning now.the way that ramp up and down and not just turn on and off I think makes for a much healthier tank.kudos to ecotec for another outstanding product!
