Is 17 inches of water too deep for a four bulb T5, with two 10K and two Actinics?

3-4 inches from the water to keep splashing to a minimum & you should have more than adequate par for most anything but extremely high light-demanding SPS on the sandbed. might even be able to do some of the lower light clams on the sand
all the stuff i have read says 24" or less t5 is plenty adequate....but the deeper you go, the less par you will have, which might be beneficial depending on what you want to keep. for instance, most mushrooms & zoas don't like to be blasted w/ the same mid to upper 3-figure par readings that alot of SPS corals thrive in

Yep, should be no problem. I ran a 4 bulb setup over 19 inches of water on my old 55 and had everything I wanted with plenty of growth.
