Currently working on a new build that I have gotten second hand. The dimensions are weird but I love all the horizontal swimming space. But here we are trying to plan lighting and trying to avoid an excessive amount of spill.

As far as stocking: SPS dominant, will be seeding with 20 pounds of premium live rock from TBS to get it ready for SPS as soon as possible.

What I am thinking for lighting:

3x Orphek Naturas
2x Orphek Atlantik
1x Reefbreeders 45


What I want out of a light: Natural looking reef, I would love to be able to flex a nice white reef while still allowing colors to pop. I understand that I might be able to do this with the reef breeders if I supplement with 14k edge bars.

Questions: Are there any options I am not looking at currently that might fit the biil?
Which direction would you go?
Can the reefbreeders give me the look I am going for?

Here is the tank in its current state, it will need some cleaning, and the stand needs some skinning.
