You will likely want a larger reflector because of the width of the tank. Have you looked at these?

Have you considered 400w Radiums for you MH choice? I just switched to them and couldn't be happier! The bulb replacement time frame is truncated, but I absolutely love the color and growth that I am getting. Things have absolutely taken off! I run mine with 4 - T5s (2 Actinic and 2 Blue+).

Good luck with the rest of the build!
