I personally just went with t5s. I keep thinking about changing but just haven't seen anything that has made me really excited about LEDs yes.

You will not be able to cover 4 feet with that I wouldn't think... i have the 120 watt one to cover the last 2 feet of my 125. It does well, but I wouldn't stretch it much past that.

You might be able to get away with 1 evo 200watt dimmable. Sps under the fixture, lps on the sides and sandbed. PM Chris aka ReefKoi.
