I will be getting a glass 22.5 in x 24 in x 18 in (height x length x depth) and I was wondering if the following light is good enough for a reef tank.

I am planning the have mushrooms, polyps, pumping xenia, star polyps, frogspawn, hammer heads in this reef tank.

Should be good enough to grow softies. 40watt is enough for softies.

That should be plenty for softies. Same fixture, but less expensive. Here (http://www.hellolights.com/242xcoluaqho.html)

Dawn, I could have saved $20. If only I knew about that site. Thanks anyway...and I know where to buy lights next time.
