T5 4 bulb mount height for general lps

[santeeeyyy]

I have acquired a 21 x 21 desk tank. The JBJ 20 gallon ones. I also got a 4 bulb light fixture and it comes with wires to mount or hang as well as stands to put onto the tank. I thought the light stands would burn hammers or any sort of euphylia I am putting into the tank. The set up seemed perfect for stonies but for euphylia it’ll be maybe 6inches or so above the water line. How high up should I mount if I were to use this light. I would rather not mount it from the wall

I am getting 15 hammers and looking to dump them into this tank as well as putting in live rock from my cycled tanks to kick start and skip the cycle

12" would be good the Aquatic Life doesn't put to much power to the bulbs

One of the best things about T5s is they are hard to mess up. Anywhere from like 4-12” is fine for the majority of lights and corals

So I can just slap this directly ontop of the tank? It has a little kick stand. Also it’s like four of these light bulbs
