Hello. I have a tank with 80x55x45h acropora weights. I am using ecotech g5 xr30 pro. What should be the height of the lighting above the water, based on the height of the tank, and most importantly, what should be the brightness of the AB+ program?

I have mine 7” above the water on a 25” tank. Being 45” deep you may want to consider the high intensity lenses. I just bought 8 of them. I am going to move my lights to 14” above the water in my new tank, same depth. I’m putting the high intensity lenses on so I don’t lose light in the wash. I’m adding 4 MH fixtures to my XR30/T5 setup. I’m putting 8 xr30’s over a 96x36 for comparison.
