I’m building out my Waterbox 20 Cube right now. The desire is to have a mixed reef sps dominate system. Would the XR15 Pro Gen 5 be overkill?

You would probably have to turn it down. Rent a par meter. But if you have thought of tank upgrade in future to would be re useable

One more for the yes column.
As already mentioned, turn it down, see if you can rent/borrow a par meter, and have a light that is capable of lighting a larger tank.

I run AB+ at 75% over my waterbox 20. Haven't done a PAR check yet but everything is open and happy! SPS LPS and softies
