I have a 24" that I used to run with 2 xr15 over a 24x20 inch tank. I had to hang the light as I had no idea how to mount it any other way. I think it's too much weight for tank mounts but thats jmo with no facts to back it up. I ran it 12 inches off the water if my memory is correct.
I now have it over a 36x24 inch tank but it is sitting on top of a reefbreeder photon 34 so no other mount is needed. Its also at 12" off the water. I run 2 blue + and 2 coral + That bulb combo looks a little white but I'm starting to get good growth (tank is only 6 months old) and I just run heavier blues in the evening for some pop.
