The single MH in the back covers that smaller area pretty well and the 2-T5s are enough for the front area. I have SPS growing well throughout the tank. Photo period: T5: 9:00am to 9:00 pm and MH: noon to 8:00 pm. Moonlights on .5 hours before and after.
See the video I took 3 months ago below. Just after that was taken I changed the T5 bulbs as they were getting old. They were a 14Kand a super actinic. The tank is quite a bit brighter with the new bulbs.

Sorry, won't copy & paste for some reason. Look under my thread from August 22 90 gal audio & video.

if you insist at using two MH, I like #3 the best, it will give you the best distrbution of your t5's and the MH will cover your mounds with lots of overlap for your bottom. just got to make sure you put them the right direction if you are using SE bulbs.

what are you going to use to put all the lights in?

Did'nt I buy your 400w Bulbs off of you about 8 months ago while you were getting your tank set up? I thought that you were 'down sizing' including your lighting...

I like option 2, in such a small space you will need to move alot of air to keep it cool though.

Todd: I still did downsize but I don't have enough time in the world to fully explain the nightmare I've gone through in the last year trying to get this tank up and running. I wish I wouldn't have sold those pendants in hindsight now because I ended up going with the same setup in the end anyways. LOL

Steve: Do you mean how am I going to hang the lighting in the tank?
