Hi

I have a 120 gallon tank,fish with live rock,i want to get some shrooms and zoas, I was wondering what is the minum i can get bye with.I used to use actinics on my 55 with shrooms and they did great.Can i just get actinics for the 48" light fixture i have now or do i have to upgrade to keep the zoas.Also i dont want to spend hundreds of dollars on lighting,limited funds.
I saw one post that suggested this

I myself would like to see more light, Im assuming the tank is deeper than long. You wont get much penetration.
