I don't know how high to make the sides of my canopy that will hold my 2 250w MH lights. I will not be using anything between the bulb and water so splash is a concern. I know about 1 1/2 inches of the canopy will cover the sides of the tank and the spyder reflectors will have some space under them for airflow so the bulb will be a few inches from the top of the canopy.
How high should the bulb be minimum from the water? I was planning on cutting the sides to be 12" wide, but I'm wondering if I should make the hood taller now? I want to keep it short as possible to reduce weight.
Thanks.
