Lighting watts and live rock

[Raptorman]

I have setup a 120 gallon marine aquarium. Right now it is just
running its pumps and heaters until I get my live rock. First of all
I wanted to know if any of you have a really great place to buy
premium fiji rock online. Next question is will my 2 65watt bulbs
kill the live rock(lack of light). Obviously this is going to be
fish-only for now and i want to get the proper light to not kill the
rock. Tank is 48" X 24" X 24".

Thanks

That's fine for Live Rock. You might want to switch your bulbs out to 50/50
lights.

not that the type of light would make any difference for the rock, but where
did you see that he didn't have 50/50's?

and why would you say they would be a better choice for his tank?

just curious

Buying rock online is really a pig in a poke no matter where you get it. You
might as well pay just a hair more and be able to pick out pieces and shapes
you like. I paid 7.99/lb for Marshall Island Rock Locally, out of two huge
tubs, there were only four pieces I liked. Had I bought it online, I would
have probably ended up with 1 piece I liked and three I didn't.

Hope this helps.

What are 50/50s? I have one blue actinic and one white(flourescent).

You dont even need to have any lighting for live rock. The only lighting
you would need is what shines in from the sun.
