If you want a basic full spectrum fixture with dimmers try the OceanRevive Arctic S026 or the EverGrow OR D120.
If you want built-in controllers try the EverGrow IT2060.

I have 3 EverGrow fixtures and 3 OceanRevive fixtures. I had 3 EG D120's and switched to 3 OR Arctic S026 because they offer a number of small advantages for just a couple of dollars more than the D120.
I think the 24" IT2060 will cover your 30" tank just fine. If you're really heavy into sps and want plenty of light, and money is less of an issue... 2 IT2040's (16" long) turned perpendicular to the length of the tank would be awesome... but probably not necessary. :wink: Or if the controllers aren't important to you, 2 OceanRevive Arctic S026 turned perpendicular would be great light as well and save you about $300 over 2 IT2040's.
Wow! What a post. I'll just interject my comments in bold blue print.
And that's my understanding of where we disagree.
This graph shows how much of each spectrum is used in the photo synthesis that the zooxanthellae use in order to feed coral.
And here is a graph to show how light penetrates the ocean. Your claim that most color is taken out in 36 inches is just wrong.
I so appreciate you replying to my post and making corrections. I did mean 36 feet lol. Admittedly, I am by no means an expert, just a biologist ( lol my degree is in evolutionary biology-genetics). One thing I am sure of though is that coral reefs are still somewhat of an unknown to science. Still tons to be learned.
And my head is still spinning. Myself, and I am sure that there are many more people like me, don't understand stuff like binning, and the like, and really don't care either. Give us a light that won't fry our tanks, give us decent colors, and not overwhelm us with techno dribble, and I for one will buy.
