It should be 18" deep and yup, a 4 bulb is about as much as your going to be able to squeeze over it unless you make a custom hood.

Anything you want... I would probably do a act, something around 10k, one around 12-14k and maybe another blue (either act or 20K) since most fixtures have independent switches for 2 bulbs at a time.
