Not sure you have gotten a response to this... but...
I would not use MHs of you are sure you are keeping LPS and soft corals. Go
with VHO or PC combos. MHs will wash your LPS out. Go with a VHO or PC combo
that will give you about 4-5 watts per gallon, and use a combo of daylight
and actinic bulbs. Also, if you are still in the planning stages, start
planning on how you are going to circulate your water for a nice even flow
throughout the tank. Remember, LPS corals like some current (preferably
alternating), but not a lot....
IMO,
