Hey Everyone! Reefgeek here, I am fairly new to this hobby, I'm coming up on a year, I have a 20 gallon long reef tank with two light fixtures, a Marineland Reef LED and Current USA Orbit Led specs below\/\/\/

Marineland 460nm blue/10,000K white LED and my USA Current Orbit LED 8,000K white along with 445nm actinic blue

Is this to much lighting for my tank? Corals seemed to be doing great with just one of the two lights on there but I was told that i need more light so I added the second fixture in there. What should I do? To much light? Just use one? Thanks! Picture is of tank with both fixtures. Thanks!

I am posting this here because I haven't had any one respond to my other posts on this question I have about led lighting, thanks to anyone that can help!

Welcome, the lights you have will work for softies and some LPS corals but I have to play Tang Police on this one....a single tang in a 20 gallon is not recommended, let alone a yellow and a hippo...
