Lights for 175g bow front?

I was wondering what you would all use for a standard 175g bow front sps dominant tank. Most likely halides, but how powerful and how many ? Thanks
 
When I had my 175 Bow, I put my 6 ft. PFO Pendant on top of the cover and used 3X250Watt bulbs and 2 6ft VHO bulbs on it. Worked great with SPS. Didn't need a chiller at that time with 250MH bulbs and a Reeflo Dart pump.

Hope that helps.
 
I am currently running a 175 bowfront and I use a 72" light fixture with three 250w bulbs, four 96w PC bulbs and four LEDs. It's working out great! However, I don't have any SPS. For some reason they intimidate me. I tried SPS early on and failed miserably. Maybe it was because my tank wasn't mature enough.
