I currently have a 75 gallon tank and I want to upgrade to a 120. My current lighting is an 48" hood that has two 250w metal halide lights with four 65w HO lights and moon LEDS. My question is, if I upgrade to a 120 gallon tank that's 48" wide, with this still be enough lighting for a tank that's 24" tall and 24" deep? I'm planning on using this for fish, LPS and eventually a few SPS. I want to upgrade to LED, but I gotta take baby steps. :)
 
I'd love to go LED, but I'm not ready for those yet. I'm purchasing the tank first and was hoping to be able to recycle the old light until I can afford to go LED.
