Fiji Cube 11GEXT LED lighting question

Hi,

Been out of reefing for a few years.  Said I'm done, but the itch brought me back, lol.  I'm planning on making it a Caribbean tank (I live in Florida)  so, maybe some soft corals or mushrooms and zoa's. 

Where do I need to be in LED lighting?  I'm thinking minimum 50 watts?  Will 100 fry a tank that small or help it?  Any light recommendations as well will be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Dave

As long as it's adjustable you'll be fine with anything and something like a prime 16hd or similar would be ideal. Even with an SPS dominant tank you probably wouldn't use more than 20-30w from a single fixture. You can get a bigger fixture for more coverage, but you will have it turned way down.
