What do you want to keep in your tank? Fish only? its plenty. Fish and a few soft corals not dependant on much light...ok. Anything more than that your gonna need more light.

It all depends on what kind of corals you want to keep.

How deep is your tank? A 120 should be pretty deep, you may want to go with Mh AND those PC. Mh for the punch and PC for the blue. But thats a GOOD price for those PC either way.

opps i reread and see that it is 24 deep. our 55 is 24 and we have 260 watts and pretty much can keep anything, includeing a sebae. I would suggest you get 2 for a total of 520 for your 120 though.
