    Yes. I'd recommend a light with individual reflectors like I mentioned earlier though. The individual reflectors help to get the most light possible out of each bulb and into the tank. Tek lights are really good, just keep in mind they usually don't come with bulbs so you'll have to add those onto the price of the fixture. 6500 bulbs grow coral fastest, but don't give them much color. A mix of actinic, 6500, and 14k or 20k will give you the best growth rate with the best coloration.
