I am interested in growing some corals and maybe a clam in my 45 gallon high corner tank and am looking for suggestions of what lights I might need??

What are the dimensions on the tank (not familiar with the corner sizes)?

What specific family of corals? Soft corals? SPS? LPS? Which species of clam (maxima, croeca, etc).

I'd look at a single 150/175W MH pendant light (probably best for corner tanks) or the Sunlight Supply T5 lights (easy to hang).
