180gal Lighting Question

[TokiHacker]

So I have gotten a steal on a 180gal stand canopy sump skimmer for 250$. Great condition. Now... with that I was going to setup as a FOWLR tank, but decided to look at reef. Now I know with this my main concern is going to be the lighting... I haven't setup a tank this size without MH in a long time. I want to go for LED for power consumption and heat. What would be some good choices for this?

72 x 24 x 25 dimensions on the tank
