While those are good lights, unfortunately they're more suited for a fish only tank as they dont put out alot of power. However, if you are going to use it for coral you're going to want to turn it up to 100% on the blue and white channel. These lights only put out about 150 par 1 inch deep in the water, once you drop down to six it's around 80. And that's at 100% intensity.
