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 monti and birdnest. Like my lights more on the blue spectrums also.

On a 4’ long tank, your lid allowing only one mounting arm is unacceptable. Consider adressing that before upgrading lights.
 
In terms of a custom lid, Toplids team is amazing for customization they were very involved when i made a custom frag 85.3 lid and the engineering team and such were very responsive
