What brand fixture is this? True, being that the leds are driven at 300-350mA working current, even if they were two watt capable (which they may be) then they are only being ran at 1 watt. But the fact that there are 119 of them it may work just fine. Lots of folks have had success with fixtures like this as long as the tank isn't terribly deep and you're not trying to keep clams on your sandbed. Just depends what you want to keep. Because even certain sps corals don't get happy with anything less than 600+ par.
