I am trying to make a LED lamp based on the 1st pic u shown, if based on 2 strips for 2ft (inside is encased with SMD LEDs). But SG does not have 453nm or 445nm SMD LEDs on sale.

Your pic might be a 4ft with 2 warm white + 1 bright white as seen on reflection on water. Used for freshwater tank.
You are correct, Im using 4ft lenght. I would encourage you to use this T8 LED tubes rather than LED strips for two reasons:
This tubes already have a nice anodized Aluminum support that assists the LEDs to cool down.
With this solution I propose, you do not need to use a 12V DC power supply.

I used combination of temperature colors only to test how fish look under different wavelengths of light.
