    One word = NO. Please do a search and you will find all the information you need on these lights.

    I recommend a couple PAR 30 bulbs for that tank.

    I have one that was given to me. I dont know if I would use it for the refugium. This light is very poor in function. Very good looking but not good for function.

    I use those lights for my refugium. My chaeto likes it, good growth and dark green. For a few weeks I used them for a hammer lps. He did okay but I could tell he needed more light-his tentacles were stretched out. Plus that tank was 30in tall. The refug is 12in tall

    I recommend boostLED par30s if you go that route. The ai nano is also a good unit, can't go wrong with either one.
