Would light be ok for 20gallon tank coral?

I just bought a LED set up for my 20 gallon tank. I wanted to put coral in when I get it, but I am seeing conflicting answers about it's ability to raise corals. So what do you guys/gals think about this one: http://www.marinedepot.com/AquaticLi...FILDTF-vi.html

One of the reviews the guy says his corals are doing really well under it, Including montipora, which needs high light.. I dunno.. that would surprise me, he also said he had softies.. which I could believe would do fine. On my freshwater tank I replaced my 2x T5 setup with a cheap LED system from petco (140 regular price, got it for 70) and I was surprised, got new growth on my plants right away.. I was concerned they'd wither.
