    So i got this new light and i put it over the tank just on the sides of the tank, it has to legs or anything..the light spread isnt that great over the 29g biocube..But once i get the legs for it will it increase? and what about bulbs? my couzin tells me pheonix 14k is good.

    Increasing height above tank increases light spread.
