Hi there! I have an Aqua One MiniReef 120 that I’m setting up and I need some opinions. The tank came with the Aqua One MariGlo 60 - is this light suitable for LPS and soft coral? My rock work reaches from the bottom of the tank to the middle of the tank for reference. The tank is 60cm W x 45cm D x 45cm H. If this is not suitable, what light do you recommend?

I would definitely say that its too low, a nicrew 100 would work nicely for your tank and is a great high quality light at a budget pricepoint
 
I just googled the light and its only 25 watts, I would suggest 90-100 watts for that size tank. I have a popbloom 90 on my 32 gallon.
