Ap700 newbie

Hey guys.

had a 73 bowfront fish only. been doing marine fish over 20 years

NEVER EVER EVER HAD A REEF LOL

So i guess this is my mid-life crisis project.

I purchased a 120 gallon I have a big wet dry I built on 73 and my buddy gave me a really good big skimmer also.

The lighting.
Off the 73 I have a 48" coralife Current Orbit LED
1---------Coralife 48" dual bulb T5
1---------Coralife 36" Dual bulb T5

I purchased this VIPARSPECTRA Timer Control Series T300 300W LED Aquarium Light
ON AMAZON WITHOUT SAYING TOO MUCH I HATED IT !!!!!
BACK IN BOX ON WAY BACK

SOOOOO the story is I started reading on here and from what I had read many people say the A-700 Is great unit.

I am setting up the tank this weekend should have all the R/O water made and salted by then and everything else set up

Can someone tell me if they think with the lighting from the 73 bow and this new AP 700 will I have adaquate lighting ???

Will it be considerd excellent lighting both amount and quality and good for corals to thrive.

I did read a lot of people who had a tank my size 48x24 said they were using 2 A-700. They are somewhat costly and I have the other lighting so I figure may be ok.

IF IT IS NOT ADEQUATE I DO NOT HAVE A ISSUE BUYING ANOTHER
I much rather spend a lil more and have it great then spend all I have and its not

Also can someone suggest the lighting set up and any other suggestions/tips to get this project ROCKIN !!

Thanks in Advance so much

NIcky
