Hello are these lights enough for reefs

No actually they wouldn't be much good. Not enough light.
I have 2 36" JBJ PC's with 1 96WActinic, 1 96Wdaylight in each and I think of that as being the minimum.
There are others on this list that are more knowledgeable and hopefully they can fill you in better than I can.
