For that shape of tank, I'd lean toward DIY or buildmyled with a dimmer. Buildmyled's 14000 is a nice color but they also have a build your own spectrum configurator if you have something in mind.

I do not think a kessil would be a good match for that tank, you'd have to raise it well off the surface and light up your whole room.

I currently have a par 38 over my specV. it lights up well, and my sps has been ok. But unless you get 2 of them the spread isnt as good. im upgrading to an AI Sol
