tank lighting

I just bought a new tank. It's a Deep Blue reef ready tank. They are all on sale do to they are being bought out or going out of business. I bought a 65g tank that measures 36x18x24. The tank is 36'' wide, 18'' deep, and 24'' tall.

What lighting would you recommend to keep sps only tank for a tank this tall?

I love my Radion XR30 pro. You have to turn them down to not bleach corals. I have just one on 90 cube. 30x 30. Mixed reef tank

Just picked up the deep blue 60 (24” cube) and thinking of going led. Last tank was a 72bow and had ati sunpower over it. Would like to see if led can do better (plus less expensive in long run?) but not sure which to go with yet. Was leaning heavy toward the radion xr30 but after more looking around may consider one of the black boxes on amazon.....
