    I have a set of leds on the way. My only concern is how do I figure out how high I should mount these. I'm building my own brackets that will come up from the sides of my tank then over the top to hang these fixtures. I would like to have them built before the lights come in just not sure on how high they need to be. I have a 55g tank here are the specs on the lights

    50 watt using 14 3W bright white,11 3W 460nm blue, 18000K white 60 degree view angle, Pure 450-475nm spectrums
