Will this be enough light for my purposes?

Hi all,

 

I recently installed a Current USA Orbit Marine Led Saltwater Reef Lighting system, and I love the way my fish look with it. I was wondering if it would be able to support a few soft corals, all I want are Xenia and maybe some zoas or a leather toadstool. The distance from the light to the sandbed is less than 12", would the 24" fixture be enough light for these? Thanks!

What tank? I have the same light and my zoas are fine

Thanks for the response, it's a typical 20H

Check out my build thread dude. I have the Current orbit marine In my 30L since starting up the tank 6 months ago. All my LPS corals are doing great....and my maxima clam is rocking it's blue mantle color! The light works well for my tank, should do well in yours!

It's enough light even for some SPS so those corals will be fine. I have one over my ten gallon and I have an assortment of zoanthids, flower anemones, SPS (montipora spongodes, a bonsai acropora and a green slimer acro) and some LPS.

Thanks everyone! I was hoping it would be strong enough, some people said it wasn't, though I'm happy to hear about your successes!
