| i would advise to go with metal halide&vho to suppliment with actinics if you want to keep sps in the future,good water movement is very inportant also.i also have a 120 48inx24in x24in and am currently useing 2 csl 48in 260watts/w/moonlights at 520watts total.im going to be moving this tank to a in wall just after christmas, and will be upgrading to a larger tank asap.so what im saying is research everything first about what size tank you really want in the long run.and what equipment will fill those needs.trust me im selling stuff on ebay now that i should'nd have ever bought.but im sure alot of other people have done the same thing.lol.just trying to save you some money and help you gain knolege along the way.hope this helps ya a little.baby steps/baby steps. dave
