How about reefbreeders?
The best right now is the Ecotech Radion and GHL Mitras. Build quality, customer service, features, ease of programming... but they are more than double your budget.
Or you can get a really nice T5 or MH/T5 combo setup and grow anything.

In your price range, you could go with something like this:
reefbreeders
Keep in mind though, for your tank you would need 2 fixtures. This holds true for most the lights that were discussed here. Reefbrite aslo makes LED's that at more of a "bulb" type. As well as what Dennis has mentioned, you may also want to look at the Kessil fixtures. You should be able to find a good used Kessil A350 for about 300.00 per light, again, you would need 2 of them.

On a 36" tank one of the Kessil A350W would work I think. It doesn't penetrate the water like the regular A350 because of the wide angle lense, but unless your wanting to go SPS heavy, I think you'd be fine.
Reefbreeders.com sells a 36" light u only need one of those $449. Rapidled.com has good prices! You can customize your layout too! Do research and take your time! The reefbreeder photon series are controllable so u can dim them up or down every 15 minutes. The rapidled lights are controlled by an apex or a manual knob. Reefbreeders come with moonlights rapidled doesn't buy you can add and customize them however you want.
First, I suggests emailing them! Especially before you spend all that money! They have awesome customer support.
My suggestions is 60 degree lenses on the whites and blues and 130 degree lenses on the colored ones. This way the colors spread throughout your tank more and the blues and whites get down to your corals.
