Need suggestions for affordable lighting brand for reef tank

[akazzz]

Hi, are there any affordable lighting (less than $400) brand for 100-180g reef tank?

There are a few popular ones like Ecotech, Kessil, AquaIllumination but those will probably cost at least $1,000 for a 100+g tank.

I'm not looking to do any SPS just beginner corals.

Based on my research, I came across Marineland, Current USA, Aquatic Life and Ecoxotic which are within my price range.

Which affordable lighting brand do you guys recommend?

I have the marineland double bright on a fw 90g. Its bright enough for my needs but probably wouldn't cut it for a planted fw tank or a reef tank.
