it is a nice looking tank. I love inwalls.
now, normal florecents are not enough to house an anenome or other high lighting corals. Even a bubletip, one of the most common, but only moderatly dependent on lighting, would be a good choice. You could do a bubletip with PCS, but youw ould need a lot of PCS for a tank taht size so it would cost a doozy. IMO, it owuld be worth it to just get metal halids of VHO if you are looking to house anenomes and other high lighting corals.

i've spent so much building and stocking the tank im stuck with the lights i have untell i save up, but i guess having a 120g and a 125g isn't easy on the money flow

Ive got a 125 and the lights i ended up with were around 950.00 shipping and all, there MH's with Actinics and moonlights but they were def. worth it. But you might be able to build your own since its in wall, and save a little money. Goodluck either way! Heres a pic i took, crappy pic, but i wanted you to see how the lights were. Todd
