That's a big bookshelf tank!

At 12" deep and 12" wide, or if you prefer, 12" deep and 12" tall :), it also has a sizeable footprint to light. I think your best bet would be a narrow striplight.
Check out these from Lifegard Aquatics -- a good, trusted brand with a good price.

I think you could do either the 30 or the 36" for it. I would lean towards the 36" myself.
