I recently got a 90 gallon tank to upgrade my 30 gallon right now. I’m gonna need some more lighting and was wondering what would be good. I was looking at the NICREW 150W Aquarium LED Reef Light on Amazon and would get 2 of them but I’m not sure how good they would be. I’m kinda on a budget as well not looking to spend more than 400-500 on lights. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
 
It would work. If it were me, I'd buy 3 and mount them horizontal to the tank width, but I'm all acropora.
 
I’d go for a couple of Noopsyche K7 Pros instead. I have a Nicrew 150W, but I don’t even use it anymore because I hate how the colors look. I’m pretty sure the Noopsyche grows corals better too.

Do you know the best place I could buy those. And would there be any limitations for coral if I did get them?

The best place to buy them would be straight from there website. I don't think there will be any limitations, there is a bunch of videos on YouTube and forums on here with people growing all kinds of SPS.

Get this. $900 light. 6 months old. Seller asking $570

Slightly above your budget but this is top of the line and will fully illuminate your 90g and can keep any type of coral. Come with tank mount and hanging kit also and the wifi chip for app control

How about quanta led lights?
I love my new Quanta Lights, super good build quality, and I get great PAR. I have 3 47" bars. Cost me $680. I have a mixed reef, with the lights on about 60-70% I get about 330-200 Par throughout my full tank. I have a 75g with the standard dimensions.

I really want to see them in person, especially the new atlas lights.
