All depend on your need for lighting in the tank, lps and softies won’t need crazy lighting, 2-3 ai primes are good options, sps heavy then ati fixture or radions. Tons of lights out, just depends on how much money and how dedicated you are to the hobby. Let’s see a pic of your tank.

Tank was recently moved so nothing much alive, kind of on a rebuild. I don’t do sps coral mostly easy softies and lps.
Like I said $500 was kind of what I was looking at spending.

Had great success with these coming from Current marine Orbits, I have no SPS but great growth from LPS and softies and fully controllable through app on Android, good luck:

I'm actually curious if anyone has played with these? I heard of one guy in my area having success with them on a sps reef. I just want more input if possible

Lots of people head great success with VS lights. They will grow any coral you want, including SPS. They have no features at all, other than timer for 2 channels. I was going to use these for my tank, but got great deal on Noopsyche K7 Pro II lights. Will use VS that I have over frag tank, if/when i set one up in the future. If your tank is 48" long, use 2 165W versions over 1 300W. Better coverage and more light.


Huge thread on R2R about them
