Just wanted to ask if I use two of my 22w Led light can grow LPS corals in 20 gallon long tank. I will post the specs in the pictures.

Those are pretty underpowered. You might be able to grow some softies but you’d really want at least 35 watts or better. If it was me I’d be running 2 at 50-60 watts or get a slightly stronger one that covers the tank length wise

I currently have hammers and torches they are doing ok all polyps are spreading out but I'm not satisfied with the color. thank you for the advice I'll try to buy another light, I have this two 12 inch light but it's only 22w each
