I have read through your post, have you checked out the maxspect lighting? Those led fixtures aren't bad, another one is the E shine if youre trying to keep costs down.... Ideally 2 ai sol blues with a controller would be great for your tank but I am buyest because I own 2. I am wondering if you mount it high enough and cut your center brace if you could get away with 1 AI and no controller. That would keep costs down and you could run the fixture at full 100%, just a thought!
