Lights mounted too high?

I currently have my lights mounted 10" above the water surface. I wanted to make sure they were clear enough to work in the tank as well as be clear of any splashing, etc. However, I am wondering if they might be mounted too high.

I am currently using the follow on my 92g corner tank:

1 - 24" PC - Actinic - 65W
1 - 24" PC - 50/50 - 65W
1 - 36" PC - Actinic - 96W
1 - 36" PC - 50/50 - 96W
1 - MH - 250W Iswaki 6500k
 
You could maybe move the PC's down some but I wouldn't say the halide is too high. If heat isn't an issue you could probably drop the halide down a few inches if you think you need more light.
