Lighting help--odd configuration?

I am setting up my new 180 (72 x 24 x 24). It is fowlr but plan on an anemone and maybe pick up some coral. I would like to have the option to add light-moderate coral (or better) at future date. I am not sure what type of corals yet (newby here). Currently I have a T5 fixture 48" (4 bulb 216 watt). Needs new bulbs. The tank is and most equip is new. What would be best suggestion for lighting? Add 24" T5? Maybe 2- 12" Mh's? I really like the idea of adding the MH but worried how it would look? Really would like to utilize the existing 48" fixture.

Thanks to anyone who can offer some advice.
