Hello all, after having my first tank for a while now, I am thinking of getting my first corals. I just ordered one of the smatfarm lights off of Amazon but I am not sure if one will be suitable for my tank. It is 30 gallons and I believe 36 x 12 dimensions. Would one light be enough or would I need 2?

lps are also stony coral, just large polyp, they do require a bit more light than a zoa will, but still should be ok, just place lps higher in the tank

Thanks! I didn’t realize how that sentence was conveyed but in saying hard corals, I meant hard to keep, not hard physically. Thanks again for the help though!
