MH setup help for a 75g inwall.

I have a 75 gallon in wall tank. The tank sits inside two of my closets behind my living room.

The spacing from the top of my tank to the that top board in my closet is 11.5". There is also a wall dividing my tank on the inside of my closet. Right now I have 2 48" T5, and 4 36" T5. I like the look of MH and also think that it might be a bit better for the corals that I have in the tank. I have a mix of SPS and LPS, so I think that either 150w or 175w pendant would work for my setup. What do you guys recommend that I should get? I want to do a DIY setup because I think that buying something that is out there right now is WAYY overpriced. Any lighting gurus out there that would like to send me on the right path to get the right setup?
