I'd say go with the Lumenmax Elites. LM3s are a little overkill over a 120. For ballast, go with the PFOs if you can find some, but knowing that you won't get any warranty or be able to repair them should you have issues.

For a bluer look, I guess you can go with Electronic ballasts. SLS Galaxys are pretty good, as well as IceCap.

You can still find Blue wave ballast for REAL cheap...May have to do some research first...reefgeek had them...i bought 1 from them and one from aquacave...
