36" would give you a gap of 6" on each side, possibly leaving dark edges. You could raise the fixture (if you don't have a canopy) to compensate. As someone mentioned earlier: bulb replacement might be a little pricey though. Especially if you stick to only soft coral. Expect to pay around $20 per replacement bulb. Nicer bulbs will cost more and you can find cheaper ones....
