I do not believe that will provide the necessary intensity for sps.

IMO IME Best light strips on the market are from ReefBrite....but I'm positive someone will correct me and tell me I'm wrong. Someone always does.....

But IME I used their all actinic strips for many years and they make corals looks like a laser light show at night.

They're not cheap.....

In general that light is not sufficient for anything more than lower light corals in a fairly shallow tank.. Its really "fish only" IMO..

You want to avoid fixtures with .5W LEDS and find ones with 2-3W or more as they have the power to penetrate deep..

If you want a cheap fixture look at the typical 165W black box reef led lights on ebay/amazon.. Viparspectra/Mars Aqua,etc...
