Finally got this this tank nice and salty. I’m going to let it sit without a light for maybe 1/2 months but i want to start researching which light to buy.

I was thinking either a Red Sea 90, Kessil 360X or Radion G5 Blue...

not sure which one yet. The Red Seas are a really nice price for what you get.

it’s going to a mix reef with SPS way up top

Look at the AI Hydra 32 HD ;)
 
1 redsea 90 would be fantastic for this tank ( overkill though ) , or 1 redsea 50 if your gonna lean on SPS more get another later when shading comes into play , either way these are by far my suggestion for overall ease of use , coral health , color, growth ect. also USE the cloud cover setting for your whole photoperiod. This will help regulate the energy and meet the DRI much more naturally. Best of luck with the new system

Might as well get 1 Red Sea 90 and be done with it
 
Same tank, I went with Radion G5 pro, not blue.
 
I had 2 primes on mine and it grew SPS just fine and then if you upgrade instead of starting over you can just add more lights to it. I upgraded to a reefer 250 and just added a third light
