I have a 12 gallon nano cube. I recently bought a solar flare 15 watt high intensity led light http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009GNZ7ZK?pc_redir=1409144418&robot_redir=1
I went to my LFS and they told me growing a Kenya Tree would be no problem with these lights, but LEDs confuse me still and wanted to be sure it would be happy in there. Thank you.

The tank is going to look very yellow with only one blue LED. You have 2 3 watt 10000k 2 3 watt 6500k and 1 actinic led.

I would personally send it back and get something like this.

This would probably be better.

Whats the length of your tank?

So far it looks pretty nice with just the one blue since it is such a small tank289954
Right now it's jut a "junk" tank with stuff I catch around town. I have some pulsing Xenia that are doing well and some native gorgonian that look better than they ever did under my t-5's I'm just not sure if they are enough for the Kenya tree.

I love the two lights you posted but they also needed to fit on my tank so that was a big issue.
