IMO it should be good. I would get the 8 lamp fixtures for your tank. My 4 lamp fixture sits 9" above the top of the tank and it is 24" deep and is plenty bright.

7 or 8 foot tank

I have the bug again, and am starting to plan my next upgrade. I am looking to build a acrylic tank 7 or 8 feet long 24" wide and 16"-18" high. I am not sure if I should do 7' or 8' for the length.
