Hello. Was wondering if my light will be enough for my mixed reef. A little about my system. Tank is a 57g rr rimless that is 36x18x24 and have sps and lps. My light is a tek 4 bulb t5ho with ati bulbs. Blue+, purple+, coral+, blue+. I wired in 18-3w cree royal blue leds on front. Light is 6 " off water.

Should be more than enough, just watch your corals to see how they respond

I had a reefbreeders photon32 for awhile and didn't like what it was doing to my corals. Placed this t5 back on the tank about 2 weeks ago and everything is looking good so far. Thanks for the reply

What was it doing? What percent were you running it at?

I was running it at 80-50. I just didn't like the way my sps looked under the leds.
