I currently have my 75 gallon with a 760W MH (that is 2 - 250W MH and 4 - 65W atinics). I just got this lighting system, so I don't want to give it up before I get my money's worth, but I want a bigger tank. My light unit is 48". I have been looking at 110 or 120 gal. A friend of mine d me there have been too many problems with 120 gallon tanks and that is why they are not making them anymore. I am not familiar with this, so I look to you guys for suggestions. I noticed that the 110 gallon tanks are 31" deep if I remember right. How far will the lights I have penetrate? I have just acquired a v. lionfish and he needs room to grow

and my reef is growing like crazy!

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
