Lighting question

[Mole]

So... I didn't like the stock lighting on my Fluval Edge (LEDs) as it seemed too yellow so I picked up an IM 6402 which is 14k daylight and added a magenta/ 453nm blue and the combination seems to make things happy in my tank. Question is... Is this enough light for a chalice? or is it too much? Last thing I want to do is kill something due to insufficient equipment.

Thanks for the help.

Oh... forgot to give my tank dimensions...

It's the tall 12g Fluval 17 1/2" in height.

These combination of magenta, blue and yellow are good for 12 gallon tank. These lights also increase the decoration of tank. But addition of some green light will make the aquarium more beautiful.

The use of T5 lighting is also good option for tank lighting.
