Lighting question please help

[allenpantino]

I am new to the hobby and I am looking to upgrade my 60 gal. reef tank with new lighting. I want to use a metal halide set up but I am not sure what I exactly need (wattage, what brand, fixture,etc.) If you could please help me out with some advice on whats the best route to go I would appreciate it thanks guys.

It depends on what you want to keep. If you want to keep nothing but SPS and clams I would go for two 250watt MH. I have two 150watt 10k MH and I keep mostly LPS, a few SPS and no softies. I also have two 96watt VHO actinics and I get good growth and color.
