Lighting Help

I have an all glass 36 corner bowfront tank that I will be setting up soon. I am unsure on what to use for lighting on it. The shape of it limits on what I can use. I am new to salt and don't want to keep anything to hard but don't want to be extremely limited on what I can keep either. Does anyone have any suggestions for this setup?

Definitely look into pendents. That's the only way to go with MH IMO and you can't really go wrong with MH. With 175w or 150w DE would be sufficient for your tank. Go with higher kelvin bulb so that you don't necessary have to supplement your tank with fluorescent actinics.
