Not too pricey though lol..Thank you in advance if youre taking your time to read this :]

You'll really need to define your budget. Also keep in mind that lighting is one of the most important aspects of a reef tank and skimping now will only cause frustration down the road.
I have two kessils above my 75 mixed reef and could not be happier. Absolutely love them.

I use two Reef radiance 165 P plus. I've had them on for almost a year Over a extremely mixed Reef with plenty of fish And they do fantastic. Both together we're a little over 400. I cannot comment on other LEDs But these work quite well

For what you need in that price range would leave you with only "black boxes" since you will need two at a minimum. There are a few out there with different names but manufactured at the same facilities in China. Some have wireless options for control. They will meet the need but piece of mind does not come cheap. Mars Aqua, Evergrow, whatever the name they are virtually the same. You can buy two for as little as $150 check ebay and Amazon.
