Hello,
I have Fluval Edge 12 gallon tank.
It is about 17" high.
Which one of these would you recommend?
E.Shine Aqua Master 120W

E.Shine Cree Classic 60W
http://www.eshinesystems.com/aqua/60w-cree-classic-led-aquarium-light.html
Or the 120W ones on Ebay
Two questions regarding setup.
1. As you may know, the water in the Fluval tank is designed to be filled up all the way to the top. *This led unit will be placed on top of the tank and the distance between the led and the water will be less than 1" with a glass top in between.
The actual distance between most corals and the led is going to be about 7"-10" * *Is that too close? *Is there going to be a heat related issue?
2. Because the tank has a small opening in the middle with a cover to hide stock lighting and filter, I can not put this led unit right in the middle. *It would have to be placed towards the front edge or put smaller sized unit on each side. *
Will I be able to get an even coverage throughout the tank with this set up?
Thank you.
