I was wondering if my lighting would be sufficient for almost any coral that i want to put in my tank. I have AquaticLife LEDS, 1watt a piece, 120 LEDs total for a total of 120 Watts. (75g tank, standard rectangle) Blue, Purple, and white LEDS

1w leds just don't penetrate deep enough with any strength compared to 3w leds (running at 2w) or higher. Results might not be as good as a stronger fixture, even with 120 leds.
