I currently run this light on my 2.5 G Reef with some soft corals and they’re doing fine. My question is, would there be any lps that could survive under this light? I’m leaning towards candy cane coral or bubble coral. What do you guys think? Would it be too weak even if my tank is only 2.5 G?

I would add an LED strip onto that light one on each side. They are water proof ones with self stick backing. Get like a 12k+ spectrum on one side and an blue or 50/50 on the other. Look on ebay I bet all your corals pop after this upgrade since the light will penetrate the water better.
