2ft reef tank lighting suggestions

Hey guys I have an aqua one mini reef 120. I am just deciding what lights to put in the tank. I am on a budget of $200 as I’m only a teenager. I also live in Australia so some lights are more pricey or hard to come by. At the moment I’m interested in the following.
1x Ecotech radion gen 1 xr30w
1x ai prime HD
1x Orphek PR-156
1x coral box moon led plus
Or 1x Chinese black box, probably the vipar spectra
Out of the following lights what would you recommend for my tank it is 24x18x18 inches. I’m interetsd in keeping mainly softies and LPS but wouldn’t mind having a couple of SPS If possible.
Thanks in advance

Either the Eco Tech Gen 1 or buy the AI Prime HD and save up for the second one.

Ok the only problem with th gen 1s Is that they are around 6 years old. Do you think they still would have a good life span?

I’m a fan of the prime- save up / ask as a gift and get a second!
