Help me pick out an LED fixture

I have an oddball sized tank with a height restriction in my basement that serves as my frag tank. Its 33 L x 18 Wide x only 10" deep. I have a crappy 6 bulb T5 over it now that works just fine but since 6 new bulbs will be approx 240.00 I wonder if its time to buy an LED

I do have a AI 52 non HD that is a few years old, I use that in my sump just for fun to see what kind of color I can get on selected frags but I cannot hang it high enough to get an even spread of light over the tank. The corals sit about 8" from the surface so penetration is not a problem, its getting something to spread wide in a very short distance. I have an air duct directly above the tank that cannot be easily moved. The air duct limits me to 10" of height from surface to fixture

Anyone out there with real world experience that can help me out in what to buy?
Please don't say to Radions, LOL I don't have that budget

:fish1:How about the Reef Breeders Photon V2+ lights. The 32' fixture would be perfect, maybe even the 24" model if you can hang it high enough. :fish1:
