So... I won the orphek giveaway. I have a innovative marine 25g lagoon(24l, 23w, 12h), so I'm wondering if one or4 light bar can light the whole tank. I like to keep my lights pretty white and natural-looking, dont like the overly blue look so I'm also wondering which light color I should pick I linked the options here: Orphek or4. Really wondering if the freshwater planted light would work on a reef? I currently have an ai prime with lps and softies growing under it but Ive wanted to try sps. Could the orphek grow sps on its own or should it be supplemental to the ai? Lastly, how do I transition to a new light or adding a new light without stressing the coral?

You can easily grow corals with the or4 bars. But I doubt one would be enough. I don’t know about softies. I believe depending on spectrum they are around 100 par each. I have two blue sky as supplementals and love them. They have an email you can reach out to and they will help you pick what and how many bars. Tell them how you like the tank to look color wise.

Agree
 
Imo most people would not like that much white, it will look more natural for sure.
For most people a bar with more violet is what I would recommend for increased color and photosynthesis, SPS like this type of addition as well.
