What Lighting?

[Myka]

My target is the most vibrant SPS colors I can achieve just taking lighting into consideration. From what I understand, the bright SPS colors are what the coral uses to protect itself from the sun's rays...? So, the brighter the light (among other parameters) the more vibrant the colors...?

Now, considering my tank is 36"x18"x24" making it a 65 gallon, I was thinking because of the 36" length it would be best to use T5 lighting. If i\I use Metal Halide I will only use ONE BULB. So, taking the length into consideration...what should I use?

~ 7 - T5s?
~ 250W HQI pendant
~ 400W HQI pendant (not a lot of bulb choice with this one)

Or use SE bulbs and overdrive them with HQI ballasts? What will give me the highest PAR?
