Lighting Recommendations

What would you choose to light a 72x24x30 SPS reef tank with 14.5" from the surface of the water to the top of the canopy?

Considering only the 14.5" clearance would 400's create too much heat or be too close to the surface?

How high should you mount the Lumen Max Elite?

I know Lumenbrights are out of the question due to the limited canopy height.

Is that 24" or 30" tall?

for the depth of tank (30") i would say 400's, but in the money saving aspect 250's would be just fine.
