Hi all, Just finished my lighting mount for my first reef tank. :). Cost me around $100 but its all made of alloy. I purchased Viper Spectre 165w LED's x2 for my 4ft tank. The instructions say the lights should be 8" above the water line. Anyone had experience with these lights? 8" seems a bit far away. Will they grow most corals?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

personally Id raise them up and get better spread. see the dead spot in the picture?
that brand isn't common here in the states, but Id assume theyre fine.
