I'd go with a Kessil a360w with the Kessil Spectral controller.

I’d go two 360 if not three.
You can use t5 a4 -6 tube. Ati has a sweet hybred led t6. Id go 6 at 12in.
A four tube would work fine and you could add an led bar or two.
Reef-breeders photon is good one.
One Radion xr30 would probaly do it just fine. Or a couple xr15.
Reefbright is the current MH favorite. They also offer an led accessory.
A single black box would actually do just fine. I’d actually pull half the lenses and mount it at 8-10 in.
Spread and coverage would be better than the Radion imo.
Two of them would be sick.
SBreeflight makes a great B.B. and also a Light called the ultra.
Maxspect has a Light called the ethereal , one would do. I belive that’s the most powerful of the lot.
Three or four Ai primes would be cool ,(the coverage would be again, sick)
One Ai Hydra , but I’d order the wide lenses.
And any savings you may find I would honestly put into a par meter.
