    Marlin,
    What type of corals do you have in mind? Do you have a chiller or is your tank in a aircon room? Budget?
    I'll recommend PL or PC lighting instead of Normal Flourescent because of your tank size. PL/PC are more compact then FL so you can get more watts over your tank using PL.
    Also, lighting generates a lot of heat, so watch the thermometer. Make sure you have adequate ventilation or cooling for your lamps.
    I won't recommend metal halides above 175w for use in Singapore tanks without chillers or adequate cooling.
