    Since its for gardening, it would probably cause a bunch of nuisance algae. But to even try growing corals with it is doubtful. There is a lot of time put into getting the right lighting to grow corals. Good luck, let us know how it works out if u do it.

    Im sure it would not grow coral due to the spectrum. Sort of like halogen lights, they are bright but not the proper spectrum.
