All, I have a 55 gallon lowboy that is currently empty and I am still buying parts. I got a 4 bulb t5 fixture with ATI bulbs. The fixture is fixed output. I want a zoa and lps tank. How high would you mount these lights? I attached a pic of what I want the final tank to look like. Thanks for your time and input in advance!

Wow.. Love that tank! I'm guessing your lights probably should be around 10-12" off water surface but using a par meter would be your best bet.
