New tank odd dimentions

[zoalover34]

Im getting a 4' long 33 gallon tank saturday.. It's pretty much free as im trading some zoas for it *thumbsups .. It's 48x12x12 .. Going to have to build a canopy for it, just finished the 1 for my 29 a few weeks ago not it's going to waste .. Im guessing im going to have to move my lights way up since the tank is only 12" ? I have 2x175 mh.. How far above the tank would you suggest putting them?

sounds like a frag tank to me

With it that short I'd do all SPS! Plenty of light

The shield glass on my 250W HQI is 6.5" from the water's surface on my 12" tank. I'm sure you remember the issues I had at first with bleaching/difficult acclimation. Though with the 175's you probably won't have the same issues at a similar distance.
