Need help with reef lighting

hey guys, I've had my 60 gallon fowlr for about 5 years and want to get into having some corals. Nothing crazy just some mushrooms, zoas, softies, maybe an anemone. My problem is I don't know anything about lighting and what would be good for that. I know this hobby is expensive but I'm in college so funds are somewhat limited. My tank is 48" long and 24" deep. Is there any good lights I could get for hopefully $200 or less? Also I would prefer to do LED. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Look into shitboxes heres my link to em on fb.. -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/603511806434292/
(One; would grow corals over half your tank & prolly some low light corals on other.)

Personally, I'm looking into DIY my own LED's... could always look into that!

Otherwise, I think shitboxes are good bang for ur $.

Btw (Since its Introduction Thread), Welcome to the Reef! :)
