ok so i have completed overflow build, sump is built live rock and base rock is in tank is cycled and seeding of base rock is comming along nice, power heads are in with lots of flow in the tank... wich brings me to my next big adventure lighting... i was origonaly planning to do leds but they cost so much now i am more leaning to mh i have already installed some fans into the canapy but need some advice. also beating around with the idea of installing 2 t5 bulbs on the front. my tank is a 140 g and is about 63 inches long and is about 21 inches of water to the sandbed there is about 4 inches from the water to the top of the canapy.. my plan is to cut out sqares for mh pedants and screw them down on top in the back and instal the t5 up front. how many should i instal and how much wattage... the plan is to be able to throw anything in from sps up top of the tank to less light demanding stuff lower in the tank..
 
here is some pics of the canapy
