Question LED lighting???

I want to add some red LED lighting to my tank so my corals have a red / pink glow to them do you think that this it to much?? any ideas here are the details and pics on it


MeasureExplorer LED product: ME-LED-B11WDRP, Wide view angle 24-LED Bar, Red, Power, 1
You get a Wide Angle Red 24-LEDs 12" Bar Units with Universal Power Adapter!
Comparing to our standard 12" LED tube, this item double the number of LED in order to increase the total light flux generated. We believe this design takes the LED density limit for this tube setup.
This is the item when you need uniform pure Red illumination application.
We also offer other type of LED bar lighting unit, please check LED lights for more possibilities, LED Lights
24 ultra bright LED bar comes with universal AC/DC power adapter with input range 100V – 240V. Wide view angle (about 120 degrees) 5mm LED with separation 0.423 inch (10.7mm). The tube takes dimension of 0.59 inch (15mm) in diameter, and 12.25 inch (210mm) in length.
Complete waterproof submersible package
Power consumption: 2W.

Algae loves the red spectrum of light. If you don't mind the algae and unnatural look, go for it.
