I wanted to upgrade my light. To get right to the point I have 3 options for hanging my AI prime light. (can't hang it from the ceiling in my house)
1. Flex arm 12 inches
2. Flex arm 18 inches
3. Solid metal mount
When I purchased my AI light last night I went with the 18 in flex arm because I wanted it to be raised high above the water for more even distribution. After sleeping on it, I am thinking the light spill over will be annoying because the tank is in my living room. I bet the light being higher will be better for the tank but what about cosmetics. I am open to mounting the light whatever works the best and looks nice. I fear the 18 inch flex arm is going to be too long. Should I change the mount or just go with the 18 inch flex arm. I was hoping others already knew or have this setup and they could shed some light on the topic.
Feel free to send a picture as well. Just wondered what everyone else thought.
