Hello everyone, even though I***8217;m not new to this hobby I still consider myself new because I haven***8217;t had too much success with corals. I have a 120 gallon tank 60***8221;x18***8221;x26***8221; height and looking to purchase dual 48***8221;-60***8221; current USA lights and wondering if this will be enough lighting to grow most corals. Thanks in advance for you help

most coral? I don***8217;t believe it would be enough for sps at all. It might sustain some softies but with the depth of your tank you might need something stronger. I***8217;ve seen some people use black boxes and have good coral growth. Your tank being 60 inches and running two currents at about 250 a piece, I would look into Reefbreeders photons...I believe they are the best bang for your buck

Look on reef2reef, someone is selling a used 50 inch for 450....that***8217;s cheaper than the two currents and much better light

still looking, that photon unit sold, I really don't want to spend more than $400 and I really don't want anything with cooling fans cause it drives wife crazy, that's another reason I was looking at the Current USA 48-60 but looking at their par numbers does't seem feasible either. Any suggestion would greatly be appreciated. (wifi would be great option)
