Default How would you light up a sps dominant system?

Hey guys!

I keep bouncing back and forth as to how to light my next sps dominant tank.

I'd like to get some feedback, advice, opinions and experiences to help my decide.

The tank will be a focal point for sure, it will be in the front of the house, dividing the formal dining room and the family room.

1. Aesthetics is a huge factor for me. It has to look clean & modern.
2. Sps coloration is important! Originally I was thinking LED predominately simply for the low maintenance of not changing bulbs! But why keep sps if you aren't going to strive to get the best colors out of them!
3. Maintenance , changing bulbs, power consumption.
4. Heat, originally thinking LED predominately to forego any issues with heat, humidity etc, but I believe this should be a non-issue as the house will have AC & HRV (hopefully).

Any recommendation for fixtures? Hybrids?

Tank will be approx, 6' x 30"W...
For example: I was thinking 6 x kessils as an option

Thanks!
