Actinics for solana cube

Unfortunately i am breaking down my larger tank and downgraded to a 34 solana cube. I love the tacky halide disco ball but need to find a way to have actinics under 20". Any suggestions would be appreciatedcube.jpg
 
I just got a pair of 48" ecoxotic stunners (the magenta and royal blues)... I'm not wildly impressed, though to be fair I have them about a foot above a 31" tall tank. They just don't penetrate very well. My cree royal blues with wide lenses do a MUCH better job of lighting up the super-bright colors on the coral. The stunners just give a light pink glow to the tank, almost like a moon light. I'd look at a cree fixture or DIY before going ecoxotic. Also, I have two ecoxotic 2d retro kits, and they put way too many white LEDs vs blue... Color comes out around 6500K, washes out the colors, and you can't dim those separately.
 
Will you be putting a hood on your tank? You can mount some sort of light underneath the hood to give it a cleaner look. All other options there's really no way to hang them with the MH you have already and make it look clean.
 
I am not putting a hood on it was looking into maybe a clip or tube light
