Help with choosing the light

Hi, this is my first post here, I'm sorry if I placed it in the wrong section.
I'm looking for a good lighting for my tank-18"-18"-18" (I'm going to make a panel so it will be 18"-14"-18") .I'm planning on keeping soft and LPS corals. The biggest problem is that as a teenager I can't afford any light more expensive than 150$.At first I bought Kessil a80 but after the purchase I learned that it's not sufficient for my tank, so I will most likely return it. After looking for a light, I found a couple of lights that I like but I'm not sure if any of them will be a good choice.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WCF2VQH/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_tai_B9IfEbCJ6C6W6 - I am very interested in this light but I could not find any information if it's good or not.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZSZC2JL/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_tai_l2JfEbEP4MYE6 - same as with the light above

https://www.amazon.com/MarsAqua-Dimmable-165W-LED-Aquarium/dp/B017GWDF7E?tag=viglink20358-20&th=1

If anyone has better suggestion, let me know i would greatly appreciate that.
Thank you for reading this and any replies!
 
While I don't have personal experience with 1 or 2 I have heard good reviews on the Hipargero fixture and think it should work out well for your tank size and plans.
It seems to give you quite a bit more control vs the Nicrew units adjustability.
If you are ok with less adjustability and want to save some money then the Nicrew light would work fine for your plans.

The Mars Aqua IMO is overkill and I can't think of any reasons it would be better than the first 2.
 
I'm with Mcgyvr, I haven't heard anything about 1 or 2, but I've seen some pretty positive reviews on the Hipargero. Should be enough light for your cube.
