Considering buying a 220 Gallon tank (72x24x30) wanting to put LED's on it due to me wanting to grow SPS and LPS In the future. What would be a good setup to light it? And how much would it cost? Thank you

This one sounds good and we have bought from this mob before and it’s been good equip so far.
This one would do most of the aquarium and the weak lighting to the sides would be perfect for low photosynthetic life forms like fan corals and sun corals and acans
You would have to and should any way, keep the sps up higher in the centre for best use of available lighting colours.
They have larger units but this one is cheap and has some good colours for sps growth.
Check through alibaba, there are heaps to choose from there.

Don’t forget, with out nutrient and temp control along with a 15 to 25 times turn over per hour wave maker currents, you are wasting your money doing sps.
