What lighting configuration
For the height and style of rock structure i would go 2 x 150w. Good thing about these is you can get the electronic ballasts for about $80 each. You can get lanp holders/reflectors that would norn be set into the roof, with these you can direct the light by i think 90 deg. So you could focus the light to the centre.

New Reef Tank
Thanks It goes from the pump thru 25mm pressure pipe up to an elbow that goes over the top of the tank, and it is then glued under the bracing. the pipe goes round the inside of all the bracing around the tank. There are three outlets evenly spaced at the front and i on each side in the middle. The water exits thru 3/4 loc-line. I didn't drill a hole in the tank as it was going to be to close to the edges of the tank and strength was an issue. The tank is only made from 10mm glass (30" high tank) Make sense, will try and get some better photos of it.
