I've searched around online but most iterations discussed are the standard 150 6" dimensions that's shallower.

I am planning to purchase a used 150 tall, stand and sump locally for ~$550 and am in the process of pricing out parts. It'll be a slow build since large tank accessories cost $$$.

Any recommendations on lighting for a deeper tank? I'd just cover my bases as far as what I'd plan to keep coral wise to give me a full spectrum of opportunities on what I'd choose to house (IE go SPS/LPS dominant, SPS dominant etc). Likely mixed reef set up to begin. 48Lx24Wx30H.
