I've been trying to figure out what lighting i need for a 120G tank. I currently have a 40B with a 36 fluval 3.0; My thought is i would need two 48 fluval 3.0 for a 120 or 1 48 and 1 36 (reuse the one I have) or just 1 48 fluval 3.0. But then I started looking and notice there were less expensive 48 inch led lights like beamworks but I couldn't find much in the way of reviews that compare them to the fluval (which I've been happy with but only had it for 4 months).
-
So I guess the questions are do I need one or two lights for the 120G (which is 24 inches tall - the 40B is 18); and is fluval 3.0 the way to go or should I be looking at some alternative.

This will be a planted community tanks. The fishes will be a couple of angels, 12 cardinals; 2 or 4 bgr; 8 panda cory; mix of pangio s and m (kuhli loaches), a few random guppies (which the angels might or might not eat when they get bigger) and maybe 5 zebra loachs (but the bio load is pretty high).

Plants are simple stuff that grow well - amazon swords, anubia, hornwort, val (which is growing like a weed in my current tank), and maybe something to carpet the bottom.
