Nah you can probably start them closer to 35 white, 60 blue. You have a deeper tank and were running a what, 6 or 8 bulb t5? Either way you can go higher than that
They will be dimmer to the eye. do not let that deceive you, they are much more powerful. The lumens, or visible light, is a lot lower than fluorescent, and wattage is much less, but the PAR and PUR is higher as well as the penetrating power of the LEDs vs the T5's. That is why most people burn...
The house he is in needs a lot of work that costs a lot of money that he doesn't really have is the jist of it, And the added cost of the tank on top of renovations isn't doable right now.
I used to drain my water changes into my sump area lol. Much easier than lugging buckets, i just ran a hose. I never noticed anything detrimental because of it.

Depending on how thick of a piece of wood you put up will determine the length of the screw, but I'd go with either just a regular drywall screw or deck screw. Either will work.
Yeah past the board you can use any method of suspension, i just personally dont trust single point hangers in drywall. Especially electronics hanging over water lol
Most secure way of doing it would be to mount a board to the ceiling, can always put trim around it and paint to match to make it look nice, and then hang from that. The weight will be dispersed through the mounting points on the board to the ceiling, and there wont be as much pressure on just a...
