Nicrew Gen 2 200w for 20 gallon?

[Aparker2005]

Hey everyone. We sold our 125 gallon tank and are keeping our 20 gallon only. I had 2 newer Nicrew 200 watt leds on the 125. I'm keeping them, and wondering if 1, turned down some, would be too much for a 20 gallon?

Don't wanna overdo it, but the 95 watt Current USA led we have now is on its last days.

We currently have mostly soft corals and 1 bta. Thanks!

I don't see why not, just turn it way down and you should be ok. A par meter would be helpful in this instance but not necessary.

Use a watt meter and set it to use roughly 20w total. Put 14-15w into the blues and violet. Put the other 5 watts into whites

Ryan at Serious Reefs tested a bunch of lights in that way and found it to work out for almost all of them. Nicrew was one
