Lighting for 36x36x16 aquarium

[David Arreguin]

Would like to find a light setup for a 36x36x16 aquarium. I like the idea of using t5 lights so I don't have to try adjusting lights while just getting started. The ati sunpower is within my budget but don't know which one to get or if one would even work for this size aquarium. Wanting to start out with beginner corals being that this will be my first reef. Any help would be appreciated.

Perfect. 3 foot, 8 bulb. Hang high enough to cover the 36".
