Default lighting question

I received a lot of plants over the weekend. They are mostly java fern.
These plants grew crazy in a 55 gallon tank, and I put them in my 120 gallon
tank. I upgraded my lighting to a JBJ 4 x 96 watt bulbs. Do you think this
is enough light to keep these going as strong?

Yes. Java ferns don't require strong lighting. If I read correctly,
you are running nearly 400 watts - at that rate you will probably need
to add plenty of ferts and CO2.
