Lights for a 180g FOWLR

[uk-sub]

Hi Chaps
I'm still very new to the hobby, so please bear with me! I'm slowly setting up a 180g FOWLR system (6'x2'x2'). Got it pretty much plumbed up, got my pumps, made my sump, found a nice AquaC skimmer. But I've not got any lights yet. I'm trying to set this up on a tight budget. Can anyone advise on some suitable lights for my application? Looking for second hand stuff to help the rapidly increasing budget!
I'd be very grateful for any ideas / input..
Thanks in advance..

Do you have any lfs that sale used stuff? If not look at Craigslist... but as for what kind of lights... do you ever want your tank to be a reef? If so I would go with three 250w MH and you can get them pretty cheep if you can do a retro fit if you have a canopy...
