Exploring options to light a 180g tank, I plan for soft corals and lps.
I am considering a 4 bulb 60 inch ATI Sunpower with a Reef Brite Actinic led supplement.
1 Blue+ and 1Purple (Timer 1)9am-6pm
+1 Aquablue Special and 1 Blue(Timer 2)+ 11am - 5pm
+ Reef Brite LED(Timer 3) 7am-9pm

Do we think the 4 bulb with a reef brite is enough light for the corals?

Depends on the depth of the tank and how high the fixture is. At 24 in deep with 8 to 12in above the tank it should be fine. the reef bright is pretty powerful. Consider dimming or ramping.
