It all depends on your optics on the LED units.
Find that out, then you can decide how high to mount them for best coverage..........and no disco ball effect. |

I would start around 10-12" off the water and see how it looks. If you find you are getting the "disco ball" effect, go higher for better blending of colors.

It's not generally worth swapping the LEDs unless you hate the color.

I run 60* on my fixtures over my 31" tall tank. Lights are approximately 13" off the water. Whites / full spec at 40% and blues at 100%
