27watt for 2ft tank

Hi all,
I'm currently using green element 3w LED (10,000+blue), and it's length is 18". What do you guys think? Is it too little, too much or just nice?

Thanks and enjoy ur weekends!

Depends on what you are trying to do...but probably not enough.

I'm having a reef tank currently, the corals are opening, but their colours are quite dull. Isit because of the lighting?

The green element is made by AquaTraders/Odyssea, right? If so, you don't have enough or the proper light. That may sound harsh but it's the truth. Odyssea makes some of the worst equipment for the hobby and should be avoided at all costs.
