I was thinking that I needed to make the heat sink only a little bit smaller than the tank to get proper coverage.

So after talking with Martin today there is really no way of calculating the intensity ( par ) before you build only after its together & running, then you can check it with a par meter.
Well if your 24" x 12" I would go with a 12" x 4" heatsink, use rapids reccomendations but order a few more just in case you want to add a few. I would suggest 8 whites, 6 blue & 6 royal blue for starters.
