You could try one unit turned sideways (then add a second if needed) but due to the 48" length, I don't think it's doable with a single unit. Because the tank is so shallow, you can raise the lights virtually as high as needed to provide the coverage. My best guess is 2 units raised 22"-24" (maybe a bit less with the 70 degree optics) would provide coverage for your 48X24 tank with PAR to spare.
