.
Have 4 actinic and 2 daylight 10k have been running these lights for about 6months

My tank has been running for about 2 years every looks good and nothing has died
Just wondering would it be beneficial in any way to raise the height of where they are currently

It's currently about 17.5inches from the bottom and about 3.5 from the water
Thanks in advance for the feedback

I have that same fixture for my frag tank. I dont see you having a need to raise it at all.
 
I have the sunpod with the halide in it. I have it mounted just like you do. I don't think it's worth messing with.
 
How about too much light 4 attinic and 2 10k daylight

Heck I'd go with 5 Blue+ and just one white. Or something along those lines.
