Hi Clayton1978 (again),
I have a 45 gallon tall (36"X12"X24" tall) which I think is close to your tank dimensions. I went with a DIY Compact Fluorescent fixture with a 96 watt 6700K CF bulb. No fan, no noise, excellent plant growth. As you check out threads here on APC you will see AH Supply mentioned.....here is a link if you decide to go CF. Good prices on 6700K bulbs too!
