    Consider hanging it above the tank.

    I'm using the aquaticlife 4 bulb t5 fixture with moonlight LEDs. Its has a built in timer and legs to mount on tank. I used the stock bulbs for about 6 months and then changed to ATI bulbs. I keep LPS and SPS corals under this light. It was way less than $450.

    Id look around on craigslist for a used Nova Extreme Pro. Ive owned one before and it wasnt bad for the money. 6 bulbs with semi-individual reflectors. You can probably pick one up used off craiglist for around $200 bucks
