As close as you want. I would keep it about 4 inches off if I were you. I keep my ATI Sunpower 4 inches off the water on my 40 gallon.

How deep is your tank? I have mine about 8 inches above mine

30 inches deep.I had it about 4 inches above the water and the colors werer good but not great.I moved it up to about 7inches and for some reason the tank looked brighter and the colors looked to pop better

The only way I can explain the colour issue was that the light was too powerful and bleaching the corals from that distance.
