My peacock mantis just died this week :sad1: and so I want to turn the 40 breeder he was in into a reef. About a year ago I got an MU 100 series from boost led and had it over a different tank for about a month before that tank had to come down. I want to put this light over the 40 but I wasn't sure how high to mount it over the tank. I eventually want to do some SPS, a clam, and a BTA for my maroons. My concerns is that I mount it too low and I bleach out everything or too high and nothing gets enough light.

Here is the link to the light itself, it does have the PAR output chart in one of the pictures. I ask for help from everybody because I have only really ever had T5 bulbs in the hood.
So, how about it? Anyone have any suggestions as to how high to mount the light above the water surface? Just so you don't have to look it up a 40 breeder is 17" deep.
Thanks in advance everybody!
