So guys i may be upgrading to a bigger tank 120 Gallon Aquarium 48x24x24" 12mm Eurobraced

My question is what lights do you recommend for the display ? Looking for good high end coral growth and a mix of lps and sps?

I just bought me a kessil a360x to replace my current setup... Could not really get a definitive reply, I am assuming it's because no body wants to be responsible if it doesn't work for you... I will be upgrading to more a360x in the future and going to go hybrid on the next tank upgrade... That's the brs recommendation I got...

I have kessil A360x right now. 1 on a 29 gallon lps dominate frag system and currently in process of building a 120 as well! Going with 2 kessil A360x’s on that display. I really love the kessil but heard good things on the A.I, as well as the EcoTech! Good luck

Whats your price range? Cheapo black boxes will grow any coral. That being said id personally go reebreeders v2+ on the cheaper end or reefi extremes on the more expensive end

for the 120 that should grow any thing right ?
i would vote a minimum of 3. 2 would probably do ok for lower light LPS and such but would be limited for SPS.
I have 2 XR15 over my reefer 350 which is 48x24 and that is barely enough for SPS for the top 8" of water. So with the 360x on par with the XR15g4 I would say min 3 on a 120

I would put a sunpower on that bad boy. Just hang and your set no tweaking.

I have 4 of these over my 120g. I’m a big fan of this light. Just give it a few weeks and you can pick them up used for $200-225 per fixture.
