Lighting Question

I have a 40 gal reef tank with a 36" 110w fixture. I want to add more light, but I see that anything with 4 bulbs have a 12" depth for the fixture. Due to the skimmer on the back, I only have 10" max. The only light I see is PC 2x96. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
What is the best combo with the 2 bulbs? Actintic 50/50 + Actintic Blue?
Thanks

With only 10", you don't have a lot of options. However, 4.8 watts per gallon is good. It all depends on what you want to keep. VHO also has 95 watt 36". 10" isn't a lot of room but you seem to have a good plan. Actinic and Sun would be good. I'm thinking Actinic and 50/50 would be a lot of blue.
