Are you open to the idea of using metal halides. 20” reflectors hung 24” off the water with some 400 watt 20k bulbs are really the simplest install. 4 would absolutely do it.

I was thinking LED’s I have used metal halide before.

In that case 12 reef fi duo extremes gets my vote

 

[Billyjack]

I’m sorry I guess I should have put it as inches it’s 12” X 36” x 12”

Lol ooooh ok. Well in that case a pair of AI hydra 32

Maybe a Photon 32-V2+

A Kessil 360 would be simple and work great.
