Welcome to 3reef. If the tank is 36" tall then you will need to get 3 400W metal halide fixtures to get light to the bottom as a minimum. You can...

I had a torch and frogspawn near each other and they kept a 1" no mans land between them.
Great looking stand and canopy, tank and corals are awesome.
Montis, blastomussa, leptastrea possibly.
