    you could keep the ballast and get better reflectors save some money upfront, or LEDs.

    I've got some very nice reflectors and ballasts for sale that are plenty for a 60" tank. Shameless plug, I know. Just thought I'd let ya know.

    If you're planning to go reef, what are you going to do with the coral inserts?

    The absolute biggest piece of advice I can give you, especially with a tank that size, is make sure the tank is ABSOLUTELY level. There is not much room for error with a tank that size and weight.

    If you want to go fairly cheap.... Better reflectors would be the easiest way... Not saying those wont work to get u up and running..

    LEDs for a tank that size would be a lot upfront unless you plan to make a kit....
