Recommendations for lighting

[3dCanuck]

Evening all
Still planning out my build
What lights would you suggest for a 3ft tall,30 in Diameter cylinder tank
I want to buy my lights once not 4 times by trial and error
Thanks

Metal Halid/T5 Combo light; with that depth you are going to need some strong lights to reach the bottom (assuming you want to have coral in the tank)

Budget and livestock goals will be helpful for making recommendations

Well its not really about the budget , it is what it is , just do it right first time
As for whats going in the tank , there will be some clowns , chromis, some sun coral ( not my choice but my xmas tree worm on it)
Bunch of soft corals
At this point in time trying not to have any of the corals on the sand , want to decorate the rocks from about 6 inches off the sand and up , more will be added after the transfer from the other tank

About any light will do for soft coral.
