Lighting For 120 Gallon

You probly have a center brace.. so two 30" hood/light fixture combos will work..

 

so what type of lighting should i be looking for. i dont know much about saltwater lighting obviously so i just need some links to know exactly what to look for. and yes i have a big middle brace and a small brace on the right side of the tank

 

well I used my stock lighting I had with my freshwater for my first saltwater fish only tank... fish dont need good lights.. you can use the ones that came with the tank or the ones u see at petco etc.. but you need to decide now what you really want. bright lights are nice even without corals, but you'll need to pay more for them..

look for flourecent T8 or T12 bulb fixtures for strickly fish only.

T5H0 fixtures for coral down the road, or just bright lights for fish only..

why dont you look for some items, and post links here.. and we'll tell you yes or no..

 

ya i just needed some input on what type of lights because i bought my tank used and it had no lights and i want it to be pretty well lit

 

Aqueon Deluxe Full Fluorescent Hoods at PETCO

either in black or wood grain. need 2 of them. 30" units.. thats the cheapest standard fish tank light your going to get. grows nothing but fine for fish only. make sure to measure your openings..

 

Current USA Nova Extreme T5 X2 Aquarium Lighting Fixture, 2X24 Watt, 30 inch
would 2 of these work if the legs come off?

 

AquaticLife 30" T5 HO 2 Lamp Fixture Marine AquaticLife 24 AquaticLife Lights AquaticLife T5 HO Light AquaticLife Light AquaticLife Lighting Dual Lamp T5 HO Aquatic Life
or these

 

This tank sounds exactly like mine. Do you happen to know what brand it is? I run a current nova extreme pro 48 in T5 and have an anemone, two crocea clams, a squasmosa clam, and a ton of SPS and LPS that are showing awesome growth.

 

all i know is that its an all glass tank with an overflow in the back left corner. im just trying to see what lights would light the tank well and have the option for being able to grow corals at some point
