Lighting a 30in plus tank

With a tank with 33in depth I think I'm going to have some issues with getting light down there. Ati claims they will go 30in. Will it?
I guess MH would do but that's a last resort
Any suggestions on a fixture would be great
Ps Width is 20in

I would go with LED's.

Do you have a specific reason to setup a tank with that kind of dimensions? Seahorse comes to mind. Otherwise why not setup one that are easier to work with?
 
The tank is 66in long 20in wide and 33in high 188gallon give or take acrylic tank. Its going to be a really nice tank when I finish cleaning it up. Maybe I will throw the ATI 60in over top and see what happens

Sorry I though the tank is 20in long. ATI is good then. You can setup rock work so your high light corals are on top.
 
I have SPS as far as 21" down with the light hanging about 16" above the tank. You will not have any issues with the ATI sunpower. 8x80w. You will not be disappointed. If you get a chance and want to swing by to take a look feel free Dan
