Lighting

[Ajh3nick]

I just set up a 60 gal cube but need to get a light. I dont know much about saltwater but I would like to get corals as well as fish. The tank has been running empty except live sand, some dry rock and 3 live rock to seed the other rock. Now it's about time to get the light as well as the clean up crew.
First question is how many lights should I buy and what brand of light is the best to get?
Next question is how many and what should the clean up crew be?

Thank you for your help

You kind of opened a can of worms. There are so many options, and even more opinions. If you're considering SPS corals, you will probably want more lighting than if you will be focusing on softies. What you're willing to spend and what options you want (Wifi capable etc..) also factors in. I'm not much of a lighting expert, but I'm sure someone will chime in.
