what kind of lighting would you suggest on a new 210 gallon reef tank? And where can I get some at a reasonable price?

3X250W HQI metal halides and actinic VHO or T5, not the cheapest but you won't regret doing that, especially if you are going do dump all that money into a 210g you might as well make it the best!!

From personal experience, if you go cheap or affordable, you will eventually need to upgrade so I think you might as get the better equipment now.  It will save you money in the long run.

My advice would be to check out other members tanks.  It will become obvious why quality lighting is important for reef setups.
