you have picked the wrong hobby my friend.
There are many areas you can cut some corners with, lighting isn't one of them though.
If your budget is tight, second hand might be the way to go. $60 isn't going to go far when it comes to any type of lighting though, new or used.
Consider a fish only set-up and add on more advanced lighting as your budget allows.
Good luck, skimp where it counts to save a few bucks will only result in disaster down the road.
