Really Hard to say then as that's a pretty big tank. I don't think you'd come close with one of any type of fixture unless it was a 6 footer.....

But you would probably be better of with two units to cover the width, front to back and depth shouldn't be an issue but if you raised it too high, I think your par values would start to suffer. The 55 degree optics will help with the depth , and because of the arangement the coverage is excellent with no spot light effects.

Two 36" ligts may also work but then your also loosing 60 watts per unit which is 25% of the output. So I think I'd be further inclined to look at 2 48's myself.

But I would also contact Bongy at Inwatter myself to check his thoughts....
