yes it is adjustable......and it is the MARS lights 65 watts

65 Watt Chinese fixture depending on optics and LEDs are a bit on the weak side for corals...Unless your tank is 12"x12"

SPS like 300+ PAR over that they develop pigments that make them look better.

They best with a gradual increase and decrease that simulates normal sunlight at depth.

Softies and Some LPS do well while fed with a deeper light simulation.
