Lighting recommendations

[Bucrob]

I have a Waterbox REEF 130.4 tank that I'm setting up. It's about 4ft long, 2ft wide, and 2ft deep. I currently have 3 USA Loop lights that came with the tank (bought it used). Wanting to upgrade the lights as I'm not a fan of the light's app, also just don't like my primary lighting being a blade type of light. My lid only allows for one mounting arm and I don't want to hang anything from the ceiling. Any suggestions? Wishing to keep soft corals, LPS like Euphyllia and Acans, and maybe some SPS. Like more blue spectrums also.

So you want to only use one mount and I'm assuming it's in the center on the back?

A meridian 35 would be a good fit. I'm not sure if you can use one mount on the back but it also has side mount options. So you could use two xr30s, two reefi Uno's, or there are cheaper options.

Yeah, the lid covers the entire top, so I have no way to attach an arm mount other than on the back center where the overflow box is

Can you connect two of those with one arm?

I hear lots of people recommending Nicrews as a more budget friendly option. Only thing is I would need to find a solution due to the lid.
