As low as you can go and not get salt creep splashing on it. I'd start at 1 foot up and lower as needed.

The Aqualine Beusche people (Aquaspace light) say no lower than 30 cm (12 inches to us Americans) However I've heard of people mounting them as low as 5.5 inches with what they say are no problems except visible light lines.

I left mine at 12 inches and they seem to put out plenty of light at that height.

I heard of the same from above. I put mine about 12" though because I have a lot of current in my tank. The light looks great from the top to the bottom.
