Will two reefbrites be enough light?

I am keeping a Fowler Elos Mini, and I love the look of the pure 10k reefbrites I own it gives the tank a very mysterious feel. Anyway will that be enough light for the fish to live a healthy life? My fear is that with low light they may never come out of hiding, or will they just get used to it?

Should be fine for a FOWLER, I would do a 10k and a 50/50 or two 50/50s.

I own the 10k so I was hoping to save money.

The fish won't care as long as there's a day/ night schedule.

As long as you are happy with the color it wont matter.
