is a 30 watt led flood light good for a 6.5 gallon reef tank?

I was looking at this one on Amazon.

This one too

What about this? I was thinking of breeding opae ula (volcanic shrimp) and wanted to have caulerpa for cover. Would it be enough to grow macro algae?
 
ah. a refugium bulb. yea may even bee too much ive never metered one. yea just check its full spectrum. honestly you can go with power compacts too, cool white and warm white.
the phillips par 38 led is also a good choice but it is VERY bright. so dimmable is a plus

Ive seen this one over a macro tank that atually grew corals too. and Im running this bulb over my wifes orchids.

Nice. I don't think I have a fixture though that can fit a bulb that big
