What light are you going to get?

For now I am going to stick with what I got until I can use a par meter and test it out. Then if I need more I will probably save up for the Neptune sky or a radion of some sort. The sky is probably my preference just because of the work they have put into it to blend the lights and all that. Plus I eventually want to get an apex system for when I upgrade my tank. I am thinking of building a 12 ft long 2 ft tall 3 ft wide tank.(I need a house that I am not going to move it from first.)

Awesome. I'm planing my first tank what is the cost of a tank this big?

I’ve had the same Sherman RBTA since 2006 I ve used metal halides, DIY LEDs, and now ocean revives. It’s fine great under all of them

I got my tank used because I wanted to see if it was something I wanted or not. The bigger you go the easier it becomes to keep balance in the tank. That is what they told me anyways. I bought a big chunk of my set up for $900. It came with 150 gallon tank, stand, lights, sump, return, fully plumbed(which would have been a nightmare for my first tank to figure out), BRS dual reactor(which I am not using rn), bio cube, 100 lbs of live rock, a 20 gallon trash can of sand that was in the tank, 2 ro/di set up trash cans, a net, like 8 filter socks, a 15-20 gallon ATO tank(had to buy an ATO separately), 2 Nicrew lights, 3 jaboa wave makers(different sizes), a magnet glass scraper, couple extension cords with splitters, suction cup handles to move the tank, and a few other things…
Honestly I got it for a steal!!! Since then I picked up a 1/3 hp chiller (I live in the hot Arizona desert) $300. An ATO off Amazon $60. A 5 stage Ro/DI system (I think it was) $250 off Amazon. A couple of meds and food $100. Some instant ocean reef crystals(everybody has a proffered brand I don’t yet because I have only ever used this) $120 so far. A couple of fish $350 (purple fire fish goby, one spot foxface rabbitfish, black frostbite clownfish, and a frostbite clownfish. I found someone giving away anemones for free paid $123.98 for shipping. I spent another $400 on Hanna instruments testers got like 5-6 different ones. And I believe that is about it.
Not the cheapest but I am working on making all of it upgradeable to my new tank once I get it! I am shooting for a clownfish harem tank with a couple of tangs to keep algae in line. So we shall see how this plays out.

I've kept them under black boxes, radions, hydras, and currently Noopsyche K7 v3. IMO they aren't picky but they like quite a bit if light. Mine sit under 300-400 par and do very well. For me tank maturity is very important. Mine split a lot when the tank was younger. I started with 3 and had 49 at one point. I have 5 now that are very large when fully inflated and haven't split in years.
