I am thinking of putting 2/ 150 hamilton reef stars above my new tank  my only concern is that my canopy is only 10 inches from the surface of the water is this going to be a problem the reefstars are 3.5" tall so about 6" of clearance.  Most of the posts that I have read say that 12 inches is better, and to worry about heat. just wondering if there were any opinions out there on this subject.

My MH bulbs are approx 6" from the surface. I wouldn't go much closer due to water splashing, but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
