It really depends on what you want to keep.

I agree, what you want to keep, and how big your wallet is. There are some many different types of lighting it is personal choice. Heat is another factor that can steer people away from certain lighting.
The length of the tank doesnt matter, its the depth of the tank and the corals you want to keep.
How much money do you want to spend?

More t-5s or if you wanted to spend the dollars, MH. It really depends on how you want it to look and what your keeping. I don't like the x-watts per gallon method.
