Lighting?

[dvs]

I have a 72 gal bowfront. Id like to make into a reef tank. What would the best lighting be? Eventually, I will be adding anenome and know they require a lot of light.
Thanks

Hopefully OceanJumper will respond, he has that type of tank...
His web site is www.oceanjumper.com
He has lots of good ideas, not sure what type of lighting he uses though...
