Just bought a slightly used 150W, 14K, K2 Viper HQI clamp-on lamp for my 12 gallon Aquapod 12 (I know it's overkill, but I got a good deal). This is replacing my stock lighting (28W actinic and 28W 10K PCs, The tank has mostly zoo frags, 3 ricordia, kenya tree and xenia frag, monti and poci frag. They've been under the PC lighting for about 6 weeks.

I thought the best way to introduce the increased lighting would be to slowly lower the distance from the fixture to the water. What would be a reasonable starting height and schedule for lowering it?
