How would you light up a sps dominant system?

I left all halide fixtures out of the equation because he said this...

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

Though Giesemann and Sfiligoi both put out nice DE halide fixtures that are pretty sleek. Some are even available in white. Imo you won't get a SE halide fixture that look sleek. ATI has a T5 + LED fixture that's been getting rave reviews, but I haven't seen it running over a tank in person. Radions are definitely still the "hardcore SPS fanatic" go-to.
