Default Help choosing lighting for 55g corner tank

We are about 3 months into the build of a 55g corner reef tank but have yet to figure out what do with our lighting. When we bought the tank it had 6 DIY 24w T5 lights (Terra Grow?) that don't really fit and don't support reflectors. I’m not sure if I should just get rid of these all together or supplement them.


Alternatively I was thinking of maybe getting two 150 MH and positioning one on each side (14L x 14W would be the max size pendent that could fit). I can't really put one higher watt in the middle as there is a plastic brace for the tank there.

We were hoping to keep mostly soft corals and some LPS, but would like to keep our options open down the road.
