Hi All,

Just bought a 8x54w T5 pendant from Zimreef (Thanks John :D )

Nowhere in the instructions does it mention the height this should be above the tank - or how to fit it at all actualy.....

Is there any guidelines for this height or reasons it would need to be a certain distance? Want to get this done before the tank is built and I have the stand to crawl over :p

My 4 tube arcadia is 10cm above water level, needs wiping down due to salt splash now and again.
May I ask what make your pendant is as I am looking for a 6 or 8 tube unit.
Thanks
Jerry

Thanks for the link. Exactly what im looking for, although the price is a bit disturbing.
Cheers
