What do y'all recommend on height above the tank/frag tank? Anyone know of controllers for these either?

Controlers, hook it up to an RKL or similiar. Not going to be able to control the intensity readily I dont think since it's on the POT.

Height would depend on which degree lenses, some of them differ. Most of the ads for them list a height. I'd start with maybe a foot for decent spread, can go lower if you find yourself maxing out at 100% or higher if it's too focused.

I have mine about 8 inches above the water. It's a 165w unit with 120 degree optics. The ideal distance to hang them will depend on the led lenses and tank dimensions. Not aware of how to interface a controller if your led unit has manual knob potentiometers.

My lights are 8" as well. I just use a reef keeper lite to turn them off and on.

45 percent blue and 10 percent white. I'm still trying to ramp up the intensity, I got these lights a couple months ago.
