I recently upgraded my lighting system to the Sunpod 2x250 14k mh's from Coralife pc's. These lights make a HUGE difference in my small 46b G tank but holy cow, I had no idea the amount of water I was going to be evaporating in a day. I have the lights sitting on the tank with a small fan blowing to help cool the water and this has helped maintain 78 degrees. My question to the board is if I hang my lights above the tank I can probably nix the fan and hopefully water evaporation will go way down but how much light loss do you get by hanging up higher. 500 watts is a lot for a small tank, I would probably be ok doing this right. Any thoughts or folks with previous experience who can help. Thanks, Todd.
