unless you think you'll have another reef tank this large in the near future i would sell the lighting or at least the halides you couldn't reall get much unless you don't mind ditching the firefishand/or the shrimp.....

how bigs the tank?

the angel will almost definately eat the shrimp, but a dwarf angel is a different story.

selling the halides will spot you at least 500 big ones. you could get t5's, power compacts or the cheapest option standard flouros.
the fish don't need any special light so standard lights will work, but some people still like the look of the intense reef lighting.
