Tank is 24x24x24 so I need it to penetrate to sand bed.

I'm running a Chinese Nova A4 above my 60G cube. I bought it just because it has 4 clusters in a square design and works perfect for the tank.

With 90 degree optics I wouldn't go any more than 8" from the top of the tank and with 60 degree optics I wouldn't go any more than 18" from the top of the tank, preferably 12" The higher you go, the tighter the optics needed

Canopy? If not look at a Kessil A360We.

I made a bracket for my AI Vega that uses 1" EMT conduit to support the light from the back of the cabinet.
