Lighting for 20gal Long

New to SW and still in planning stages....I'm having a hard time finding appropriate lights for a 20gal long nano....I'd like to be able to raise all types of coral and 30 or 4 small fish....

I've seen some decent lights like Reef Radiance and Evergrow...Specifically a DM120 has been recommended but the fixture is only 13-15 inches wide and I believe the tank I'm looking at is 30"....I'm hoping I don't have to buy two to fit the physical dimensions of the tank...

2 lights seems like overkill for a 20gal tank...

Thoughts?
 
One fixture you could look into for all types of coral is the Onyx. Its a pretty good light and it can be either dimmed with a controller or manually depending upon the model. Personally I have a Kessil A150 Sky Blue 10000k light. I love it. The only downside it that it doesn't support SPS (across to be specific) that well at all. However, my monti, zoas, chalice, frogspawn and ricordia have all grown really well under it.



I have a 25g tank, and while I am still fairly new (only been reefing for a little over a year) I've done a decent amount of reading and am willing to share any advice I have picked up with you.
