Planning 60 gallon

[KPCustoms]

Am planing to upgrade from my 28 gallon nano cube to a 60 gallon freshwater tank. I'm thinking of turning my nano cube into a nano reef and transfering everything in my 28 into the 60. I want the 60 to be a planted tank and it will have a big piece of driftwood. So I was wondering what kind of lighting would be best and what kind of filter I should get. I am working with a budget of about 700 the tank is going to be like 50. This will be my second tank ever.

Hmmmm, a marineland emperor filter would be good, another good brand is Aqueon.

It comes down to personal preference on filtration mostly. For HOB go with AquaClears or Emperors. I personally don't really like HOBs, and my wife hates the sounds they make, so I go with canisters. For canisters look into Fluval, Rena, Ehiem, and, my personal favorite for bang-4-buck, SunSun/AquaTop.
