I don't think you will need to acclimate just by getting 2 more bulbs, but you could do it just to be safe. Maybe lay a couple layers of black egg crate on top of your tank, and leave the lights on for about 4 hours for a few days, then 5 hours, then 6, and keep going until you get your desired amount of hours.

 

Which ever bulb order you like better will work. I don't think switching those 2 bulbs will make much of a difference at all.

At least 6 inches. My canopy is about 8 inches from the water but the bulbs them selves are bout 10 inches.

But I have a metal halide so I needed it to spread.
