Also, 200 vs 260?

It'll be a SPS predominant reef tank.
I would take the 200, if the depth is 24". I am running a 260 over a 30"/70cm tall tank and about 6" over the water surface. Well lit with whites at 70%, blue-royals both at 100% and the colours are directly better (more fluorescence). Use the 1500, which is 48 " long. You really want is to go end to end for the best illumination.

You'll love this fixture. You can't hear anything; no fan noise, reverberation, rattling. Very fine workmanship. Looks great and highly programmable.
