    Hi, this going be my 1st salt tank ever. I have done alot of studying on the internet, but 3reef have provide me with alot very good info. I will need alot of help on the way, thank in advanced ;).

    I have been searching on Craiglist for almost a month. And finally, I found this 120g tank (48x24x24). It perfect size for me, I didnt want way to big, because I know it will be very hard to keep up. I pay $400 for it, I think I got a good deal.

    It also included a Marineland Double Bright LED Lighting System, will this light system be enough for my 120g tank?

    I will post more pics soon, my bro took my camera USB cable... I will post more pic when get it back...

    What are you wanting to do? Fish only, or reef tank? That light is fine for a FOWLR tank but not for reef.

    They are basically "Odyssea" fixtures as far as I know. I really thought about getting one myself, but I didnt. You have to remember, you get what you pay for when it comes to a light fixture.
    ----
    I checked them out just now and the lights all say "Odyssea" all over the place. People like to change everything about the light after all (ie: ballasts, light bulbs, and so on) to get better results.
