i would say 20" but obviously you loose it as you go further down
Crap my fish tank is 26" high
8x39watt, wow that's a lot. You'd be surprised gary, if that's a 3' long tank (which I assume it is cause 39watt T5's are 3' long), and you have 8 individually reflected T5's, you'll actually run the risk of burning your corals. That's a LOT of light.
If they don't have individual reflectors you'd have less of an over-lighting problem, but 8 tubes is a bunch. Don't worry about penetration, you'll get plenty
