is this a good lighting item for a 25g 23" long and 16" tall tank?

Hello, I was browsing amazon, and found this, is it a good light for a starter tank?
(25g waterbox penninsula)
dimensions are 23.6" long
15.7 wide
15.7" tall

maybe I would get two, but im not completely sure, thanks!

You'll need 2 for sure. They are not as strong (PAR) as I would want, but as their ad says, good for lps and soft corals.

I would go with a AI prime, plenty of PAR and proven. And if you want more a XR15, which I feel is over kill. If you buy two let us know how they do. Can’t beat the price with a mount new.

A pair would be at minimum especially if SPS and at 30wt- not sure of the spectrum and PAR delivery.
Better off with even a used Kessil A350/360, or noopsyche mini or K7
