So 3 par 38 lights will be good? Sweet how wold I place them ?

the center brace annoys me

That I can't answer. You'd have to get them low enough and at the right distance to overlap in the tank. The 30 degree lenses will keep the light focused down, it won't stray far. I'd mock up a socket set up, and get them up to where your ablot to get the best coverage out of them.
