I have recently (3 months ago) acquired a 72 gallon bowfront aquarium along with all the equipment and livestock. With it came 2 Current Orbit Marine Pro LED lights. They are the 48” lights which I have found are 67 watts each. I do like the looks of them and the corals (softies) seem to be thriving, but in the future would like to get into LPS/SPS. I have never ventured into keeping SPS, but have kept LPS under T5s in the past. Around the time I took a vacation from the hobby LEDs were just starting to become popular. My question is, will the 2 lights I have be enough lighting for SPS? If not should I suppliment it with T5s or scrap the lights and get a different fixture?
The tank is 23” deep or 20” to the sand bed from the top of the tank.
 
I have never had those lights but based on past questions, I would say that you probably need to find a new light if you want to keep SPS. The good thing is there is a huge range of lights available in the hobby now. If you are on a budget I would look into black box LEDs or Ocean Revives T-247. If ylu have the money radions, and kessils seem to be well liked in the hobby
