There are many great lighting options and a PAR meter (rent or buy) is IMO a good option to get the intensity right for whatever your mix of corals. I have found @Reef Breeders lights to be a solid value. Good luck with whatever light(s) you choose!

One XR15 would be great for this tank. Check FB marketplace for used options!
