If this will be your first journey in the corals, I would recommend starting with soft corals and LPS corals first. These corals have much less demanding light requirements and you could easily get by with a T5 HO set up. If you look at horticulture bulbs, you often can, find these for less than $50 per bulb. Four would be adequate for a 50 gallon tank and those corals.
Okay thanks

This depends entirely on your budget and do you want 1 fixture or two for proper coverage? 50 are usually ft tanks
Probably two for proper coverage but my budget is around 250$
I would recommend looking on reef2reef marketplace for some better prices, but it will be hard to get something nice for that price.
Someone is selling an A700 kessil for $260, thatβs a good light I think would be suitable for 50g. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/ton-of-equipment-l-k-mp40-mp60-radions-neptune-apex-dosers-kessil-xl-sumps-and-more.1093579/#post-13247360
Also have a radion xr30 for same price
Thanks
