Hello to all

I recently won a bidding war on a hydra 26 with all the fixings (tank mount and hanging mount). I am currently running two primes under the saxby setting on my 48x18x24 mounted 8 inches off water surface.

My question to you all is, how would you mount them effectively? I know I will probably need to move the lights up from the surface a bit. I was thinking of the option of having a in-line setup, prime-hydra-prime. Or, should I have primes stacked back to front on one side of the tank and have the hydra on the other side, back to front?

-TIA

I would run them just as your thinking, prime-hydra-prime across center of tank
