180 Gallon Lighting Advice

[Drucifer]

Looking for the crowd's input on a respectable lighting arrangement for a 180 reef ready that I am currently building. I'm on track for the most part and have run a few tanks for a few years, but nothing this big yet. Definitely not looking for the cheapest option, but don't want to sell a kidney to light this tank either. Standard 180 dimensions, 6 x 2 x 2. Assuming I'll need 3 lights to disperse adequate light. Planning on a mixed reef with fish and softies. Would like to have them controllable so I don't have to worry about on and off times every day and be able to ramp up and down through the day. Here comes the fun part...

I'd like to do this for under $1000. Preferably in the $750 range.

Hope you all don't think I'm out of my mind... Thanks in advance for your help and input!

I'd suggest PopBloom. You can find them on Ebay, Walmart and Amazon.
