Lighting on a WB x 90.3

[Areet Reef]

Hello. Im new to reef aquariums and I'm looking for the right lights for my Waterbox 90.3.

So far I'm looking at 2 X

Reef Factory Reef Flare PRO S Full Spectrum​

With a total cost of almost £1000 including brackets. Is there any other options that would still do a great job without such a large cost?
I like to have the power to keep most corals if possible.

Thanks in advance

You could also get by with a few Nicrew 150 watt lights. They’re basically a budget radion. And at a price point under 200 for each unit, you could easily aquire a bank of them for less capital. The only problem is mounts, the ones that come with the Nicrew lights are horrendous. I recommend getting some extruded aluminum and doing something DIY. It’s a fun project and you can mount supplemental lighting easier such as the AI blade. Regardless, there are cheaper options than the flagship LEDs.

Check out my build thread. Im all in on lighting with mounting arms for $700

Aquaticlife t5 hybrid- $300
Wall mount- $120
4 bulbs- $80
2 noopsyche k7 minis- $200

i will have almost no shadowing, good spectrum, the pop of color and controllability of LEDs, and if i end up not liking the minis i can sell at like a $30 loss each and grab the larger ones ( k7 pros ) for $200 or kessil 360s down the line as i start getting acros
