Dude I don't know what type of PS you have? But I bet it is a beast. I would would get rid of the PC's they are OK* at best on shallow tanks. But on a 3 foot deep tank you might as well use X-mas Lights. I would run dual 1,000 watt MH, or at least dual 400 watt HQI MH. If you keep the PC's I would run dual 250 watt MH. I have a 2x 250 MH w/new spider reflectors and new mogul sockets. If interested the price is $175 firm. This setup is only for 6500K Iwasaki bulbs. Also included are 4x250 watt bulbs. That setup would give you some sick shimmer lines.

how much rock do you think you have?
imo if this is going to be a soft~lps tank w/ fish i would consider mh 250~400 watts
& put half of the rocks in a sump. the visual would be stunning because you'll have depth. i love cubes..

Wow that is indeed a lot of rock! I would thin it somewhat as well, unless you like the full look. Very impressive tank. Looks great.

havent checked here in awhile.. I dont mind the full look, and at the time of set up I had only pcs so Wanted to get the coral near the top.
I now have a 400 watt MD. with the PC's. the colt coral and frogspawn have grown quite a bit in the last 3 months.
Ive added a scooter blenny, a mandarin gobie and just the other day and black percula.
