Thank you! I wanted to try and keep it very open with lots of swimming room. It will have a bunch of different montipora's in it and a few choice sps. But the sand bed will be mostly Lps and zoas

I think the LEDs were a good choice, with a T5 fixture your top would be covered. are you able to switch out the lense on the leds, if so you might want to go to a 40 degree lense and then lift the fixture higher. the tighter lense will focus the light and let you get more hight while maintaining par. this will effectivly take the light out of the way for your look down.

Yeah I saw this fixture and it looked like the right light. I can change the lenses on them, I left it low for now but I am gonna raise it a foot next week so I can see in better. If that doesn't work I'll grab some 40 degree lenses.
