It really depends on what type of corals you want to keep. I would think that you would be all right for some softies like zoos and mushrooms. Probably not enough light for things like anenomes, clams, or sps. I am not an expert though so get some other opinions.

I have a quad light t5 setup that works great on about the same size tank. I think you may be a little lacking with only two. JMO.

so you think i should buy the 3rd fixture and have 3 18watt 10000k bulbs and 3 18 watt Actinic bulbs and then that should be sufficent for most softies like leathers
