For light, I have a 4 tube 24" TEKlight T5 w 2 actinic+ and 2 6000K Midday bulbs. May try 10,000K here, I dunno

Yeah, they suck for sump space. I wanted a fairly large sump, (50gal), so I ran 2 overflow lines through the wall and out to the sundeck. Sump is in an insulated box. Works real well. The tank came with 4 T5s, but was not quite enough light for SPS, so I took the back fixture out and put in 250W 10000K MH. I use the canister to run carbon & Rowaphos. Hard to know which is better for your tank 6000K or 10000k. Maybe when it gets time to replace your bulb, try the other.
