Corner tank lighting suggestions

I am realtively new to the hobby, but I have a question about lighting for a corner tank. I might be able to get a used 92 gallon corner with a stand, but I am unsure about what type of lighting to get. I believe it is 24 inches deep. I would like to have some t-5 lighting, but was just wondering how I would pull it off with the shape of the tank. Do most people just have MH lighting? If people us t-5, vho or pc lights, how do you physically arrange the lights? Do they go side to side of the tank, or are they positioned out from the center?

I've got a Single 400watt Mh over my 92. Works great lights up the entire tank.
