If I got a frag tank that was 48x18 6" tall would I be able to get decent growth if I used a 6x65watt DIY powercompact lighting system? If I could what would be the best bulbs for growing the corals not viewing? 6700K?

Working with a soft water system that use salt to remove hard water from tap water. I was wondering will a RO unit remove the salt from this soft water?
