Light recommendation for 46 gal bow front?

[Riteoff]

Figured the mini ocean community could help me pick a light. The tank is a 46 gallon bowfront with medium height rock work. Id like to keep basically any coral i can without lights being the issue. Im torn between T5(worked descent on my 120) or a metal halide setup. Ill need a fixture as it will be hung above my tank from the ceiling.

Multi plug is a huge bonus as i love the dawn/dusk/night setup.

One light that caught my eye was the Tek 6x39w fixture. My tank is 36" long so it would be a good fit.

Any help would be appreciated.

A 6 bulb fixture is about as wide as the widest part of your tank FYI....I am using a Tek 6 x 39 on my 46bf and usually only have four bulbs on.

I would go with two 150w HQI and two VHO actinics, or LED for actinics.
