appropriate lights for custom tank

[grid069]

hi everyone, I am in the middle of building a custom corner tank right now and need some lighting help. the tank is 34 " deep on left side 6" deep right side, 50"inches long across the back and 24 inches high. I want to be able to have any coral I want in the tank but having trouble figuring out the best lighting with the depth. any help would be great.

grid, those are some interesting dimensions ,i hope you will post some pics of this build.Anyway i would go with 250w MH .If i understand your dimensions correctly if the 6" deep side has only around 6"of space above you may not be able to use a reflector so you may have to consider some reflective flat stock material.Its hard to say unless you could share more of you layout plans.
