    Default 120 gallon reef tank lighting?

    I am setting up a 120 gallon reef, 48x24x24 and am transferring my 56 gallon tall reef to it this weekend.
    My current fixture is a T5 (30 Inch 4x24 Watt AquaticLife T5 HO Light Fixture W/ 2 Lunar LEDs) and I have been very pleased with this with great growth.
    My livestock include: photosynthetic gorgonians, long tentacle anemones, multiple Zoanthids and Palyzoas, mostly LPS (torch, blasto, duncan, and acans), and montipora.
    I would like to try a few more sps and clams in the new aquarium. I am not sure that the 48" version of this light would be sufficient in this larger tank and would like some recommendations please.
    I am interested in LEDs and wonder what your recommendation would be. I was considering two of the
    Maxspect R420R Razor LED Lighting Fixture - 16000K 20.5 inch.
    Is this overkill? Would the 48 Inch 4x54 Watt AquaticLife T5 HO Light Fixture w/ 4 Lunar LEDs be enought? Is there another fixture you would recommend?
    I will be buying very soon.

    I live in my own little world. But it's OK, they know me here.
