You will end up with a foot of tank at each end that is very dark. Each MH covers roughly a 2' by 2' area. Maybe throw on a fluorescent or something to brighten up those corner sections.

A 90 tall is 48L x 18W x 24H.
A 90 wide is 48L x 24W x 18H.
I'm sure there are others like bowfronts, hexs, whatevers, but those are the two standards.
Is it a Seastar? If so, it'll have a glass centre brace, which will affect a light placed directly over it.

HTH and cheers
