How much longer do you guys think I should keep these halides at 18" before, or if, I start lowering them down? I was planning on lowering them 2 inches this weekend and increasing the photo period another hour. Or should I choose one or the other, lower them or increase the time and not both?

Look at how several of the Mags have already changed their positions when compared to the previous video from just a couple of days ago. They keep moving up to the center highest point of the tank's back glass in front of the overflow. Fortunately, I have nem proofed the overflow so they can't go over.
Wondering if this means I need to increase the light intensity by lowering the pendants? What do you guys think?
