Both options are open at this time

Well if that is the case. I would think a perfect light for that would be a hanging kessel or something like that just one wire hanging from the ceiling and it would most likely cover the whole tank.

You would need a 500x for that which is a bit pricey (but pretty)

I bet an orphek Amazonas 320 would look awesome over that tank as well.

Kessil A360WE, A360x, and A360x w/ Narrow Reflector Par Results...

Here are my results. They are simply for reference. Down and dirty real customer testing. Nothing professional about it. Unfortunately I was unable to complete the test in my running tanks, I had no room. So I setup my QT 10g tank as my bench. I didn't bother to check any other positions...

With the narrow reflector is a candidate
