Percula Clownfish is always a good choice

What could I keep with a single par38? Could I keep a montipora close to the top?

Yes. Ha PAR38's are super bright! Frankly they could use a dimmer in most cases.

OK that's great. I can get a coral flare 1 bulb and gooseneck for about a $100 plus a bit for postage. Is that a reasonable price?

Honestly I'm not too sure about what they go for. I know Rapid LED makes nice ones.

OK update on the lighting. When I went to the shop too say I didn't want the light anymore, I spotted another led and it was a 15 watt aquatopic led. I looked it over, I was impressed with what I saw. It had 20 white LED's somewhere around 10k and 10 antic LED's. I have a aquatopic wave maker and the build and performance of it is amazing, so I trust the brand. So to cut to the chase the led was to good to pass up so I got it. When I got home I opened it up and was pleased with what I saw. The led is not flimsy and feels sturdy. I put it on the tank and switched it on, the light is very bright and from the look of it around 12 or 14k.
I'll take some pics of it and post them later today.

Here's the light on the tank, the water is still murky from being recently added. The photos don't really do justice to the brightness of this thing and the color is great and I think that corals will really POP under this light, we'll just have to see.
On another subject when i went to the LFS I had a look at the fish and there was a pair of red stripe cleaner shrimp......but they were $160 each!!!! is this normal for them to be this expensive?. I'm not going to spend that amount of money on a shrimp...heck I wouldn't be comfortable about spending that amount of money on a fish let alone a shrimp. Would you guys spend that amount on a single shrimp?

Looking good!
Heck no! I'm no shrimp enthusiast, so I shouldn't judge. I did spend a little more than that yesterday on a pair of Picasso clowns, but I'm a clown nut :-D

Yea,,, I wouldn't spend $160 on a shrimp.. But then again, I wouldn't spend that on any fish/shrimp or even coral. Think my gf would kill me lol..

The key is to find a mated pair, and have her fall in love with them, and then have her pay for one, and you pay for one ;-)
