In that price range I'd choose an Icecap pre-built retrofit kit.
Aqurium Specialy and others carrry them.

Very sorry to see the problem you have with your tank. That said you are very fortunate that the outcome was not worse. If you want to go retrofit, ReefGeek has a nice kit for $300 incl bulbs of your choice

They also have a TEK fixture with bulbs for $322 if you want to go that route.
