Snails work the best for me. one per gal.

Foxface rabbit fish. They are well behaved, and very peaseful.

A kole tang would be OK. You might look at small angels. Coral beauty or flame.

Google it and see what comes up. IMO. 60 gals. is not enough, but if you up grade soon, it might be OK.

I love my coral beauty. It is very well behaved, and looks great in my tank.

A purple tang will get about 10" long, and should be in a 100 gal.tank or more.

I did the same also, but I went to Lowes and bought some aluminum tube and angle, and made a nice frame to set the lights in.
