Starting a 60 gallon rimless cube

[FishSticks05]

Hi, Im upgrading my 30 gallon tank of 8 years and just bought a 60 gallon cube. I just bought the AI sol blues for it and was curious as to how high i should have them hanging over my tank? My dimensions for this tank are 24x24x24. Ill post pictures as i progress with my tank build!

Dude nice tank i want one of these so bad, I think you should just position the light so it covers most of the tank, its pretty powerful and you can always dim the lights down if its too strong.

heres the tank in my room..just have to connect the plumbing and hang the lights. I also made the screen top so none of my fishes will go carpet surfing.
