Hello, I plan to run a softy and polyp tank and I own an anemone but will two current USA IC pro lights be good for the anemone and other corals? I plan on using reflux wave pumps and currently have a just T5 light.
 
I had to run 3 over my 24" cube to keep LPS alive, rubbish IMO unless the tank is 12" or less deep.

Technically they will keep what you have alive but something like a AI prime HD or a kessil 160W will be a better investment.
 
FYI this is what it looked like lol

What he said and I own both(PRO and Prime). The current USA Pro works but the prime is a lot better.
 
I have (4) Loop Pro installed on a 33 Long that is only 12" deep. I have Hammer corals, Palys, Zoas and Nems in the tank. Everything is thriving.

Personally, I like the light. My only criticism is that they could be more powerful.

I get about 12,000 lumens at the bottom of the tank with (4) lights.

I would go AI Prime but the one factor I like is the shimmer and the Prime let's out a disco ball effect.

I have a 16" high tank but I plan on only a soft coral tank with a couple of euphillya
 
They will work fine. I just sold a set of pro's on eBay. My 60 way 24in tall and kept soft and a few low light lps.
