Question/Recs on lighting for 40b frag tank.

So I just got a drilled 40 breeder and I plan to use it as a coral tank only. Mostly SPS and some lps. I found this light an evergrow it2040 on craigslist new in box for $200 but its dimensions are only 15.7 inches x 8.2 inches x 2.5inches. Is this big enough for the 40 or do I need something closer to the length of the tank. Also any recs on lighting is appreciated. I linked the light below

That light would cover a 36"x18" footprint tank with no problem assuming you're going to have it 8" up off the top of the tank or so. That's also assuming that the light has the 90* or 120* optics, and the not the 60* optics in it. HTH!
