I personally would look into an ATI Fixture. Best for sps other than halides. Now I am selling a ai sol kit with 36" rail and controller. But you ruled ai out..

I'm big on halides. So I'd have to say 2 250w halides. Only because 36" is too much length for a single.

2 kessil a360 We's would be wonderful on that tank :)

Or you would actually need 2 maxspect 420rs front and back.

Id say wait till they come out with kessil new prototype and then grab 2 kessil 360s from r2r ;)

you'll love the color from an ATI and you can always add one or two ReefBrite Tech LEDs to a Sunpower fixture to recapture the shimmer....the best of both worlds ;)

You can always go with a Cebu Sun Fixture which is a combo between MH and T-5 you won't be disappointed with that. But I love the ATI's and 8 bulb would be perfect fit for that Tank.

I'm a big halide fan and would recommend the reefbrite halide/led pendants. I have one on my 18×18" and love it.

But with that length I'd probably give the new ATI power module a try.
