Need to run 220 Volt in new apartment

So I ideally will be running 3-1000's (room already wired for 120v) plus fans and such. oh and a 3300 watt tanning bed (220v). Ideas: Run a sub breaker and make it 220 and run all such ballasts and tanning bed on it. Or i could just run a 60 amp breaker off of the main breaker box. any ideas on whats best? Wanna run 220 cause its more efficient for ballasts and also needs lower wire gauges. also i live alone so no worries about how it looks or power usage cause I'm legal.
Just want some thoughts.

Is there any particular reason to run a sub? Because it seems like if you don't need any 120 you could just get away with a direct line from the breaker.

You must really love tanning to have your own tanning bed. I'll confess it would be extremely hard for me to plug in a tanning bed when I could be firing up another three lights.

Lol I was thinking the same thing haha why run 3000 when you can pull 6k

Haha well I cant afford ballasts and lights for 6k yet. Maybe someday. Upgrading from running a 400 and a 1000 at the moment. Tanning bed was free crazy life we live.

oh and tanning sessions dont last over 15 mins not trying to have my bill go through the roof in an apt by myself even though i am legal.

Yeah, a twelve-hour tan is pretty much putting you in the hospital, now that I think of it.

You are obviously on a budget, but seem to have a clue so i will give my opinions; a. If money was no option i would put in a dedicated sub panel with breakers for everything so you can wire as you want/need. If you can find a used one somewhere, that would be the way to go.
b. If money was a concern i would run off of existing breakers, the stove, the dryer and remember no dryer between 8 and 8 or whatever. Then upgrade when you can afford.
Good luck, and be careful, 120 can kill, 240 will!

it has an open slot i might just throw in another 240 breaker cause i know i can do that easily. I have before. I will also check around for a sub panel but I would have to consult someone one the wiring of such.
