It's personal preference really. Led vs t5 vs MH A lot depends on budget and what you'd like to accomplish or keep in reef tank

Depends on what you're looking to keep. For SPS A single MH will
Be tough unless you run something like a 400W with a Lumenbrite Large reflector. A single 8x24 may be marginal for coverage.
Those dimensions are for a 150G tank.

In a large cube a single MH will be most efficient. I would still run t5's as well. If it's 36x36 retrofit the lighting system with a full size luminarc reflector and 4 t5's around the perimeter. If it's 30x30 a nice giesemann spectra or sfiligoi will do a great job.
