Question about too much lighting

[iDad]

I am about to downgrade from a 56 tall back down to a 20 gallon long. I move a bit and it would be easier to move something smaller, plus I had a lot of success with my last 20 long. I am using the money I get selling my setup to get an aquaillumination Hydra led fixture and was wondering if this would be too much light? I was going to get the maxspect razor fixture but my wife seen the lightning show the hydra can do and she wants that one (it's a lot easier spending the money when the wife is on board)

My question is, a guy at the LFS says it would be too much light but can't you dial it down to what you want? I wanted some opinions from you fine folks. Please help me out. I just deal with softies right now but when I branch out in the future I want to already have the right lighting for it. The tank is 30 inches long and 12 inches high I do believe.

Thank you guys and girls!

You'll be fine with that unit, its 95watts at full power, no need to run it up there until you need it.

I don't think it is necessarily too much light.

+ 1 should be fine.
