Urgent!! Noob with led please help

[Fishy15]

Hello,

I just bought a 22 gallon cads light tank. I have been looking around for a nano LED fixture and went ahead and bought these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/32197058620...49&var=510906798753&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

It is rated 27 watts and 1350 lumen output. Can anyone tell me if that is enough for most corals in my tank??

tank dimensions 23.75" x 14.25" x 14.5"

Thank you!

What corals are you planning on keeping
I'm certainly not expert but think you could "get away " with some zoas / shrooms. It's always better to ask before you buy....saves money in long run

just the beginner corals for now. I have a few zoas, a toadstool, and a candycane coral. Do you think it'll be better if i add one more of these fixtures on the tank? Thanks guys

I guess since you ordered the light ( or maybe you have already). See how the corals respond to it

Can raise them higher if need be. I wouldn't put anything more I. Tank until you see how your livestock responds. Again, not a light expert. The specs showed 3w which is alright but I believe 9 total Leds. I could have read that wrong but you wil need to see how corals react and coverage you get from the light

thanks for the response! it is nine 3w bridgelux LED's. I just got them mailed to me at home and i just put the fixture on. It is pretty bright and it comes with a internal cooling fan which is pretty cool. The only corals i have in it are zoas right now so im going to see how they react!
