    That fixture isn't really made for coral it is more for lighting up fish only tanks you need something with a little more power.

    I used the big 48" version of this...for the price you are better off making your own LED fixture that is dimmable. Check out rapidled, you would need 12-14 bulbs at most. In the long run you can add a much larger variety of corals with this...

    Are u set on led? You can get decent 4-bulb high output t-5 unit off of amazon for $80. Slowly replace the bulbs with $20 ATI bulbs and you will be able to grow whatever you desire.
