Is this sufficient?

Is 132w in 3w leds and 216w in T5 (348w total) sufficient for most corals I want in a 120 gallon? The tank is 24" deep.

Do the LED's have optics, or are you running them naked? I've got 72 3W LED's over my 6 foot tank, and I've been able to keep clams and high light corals, but I'm running the AI Sol Super Blue's....

With optics I think you'd be okay, if the LED's are naked I think you'll need more

@northstar: It doesnt mention anything about optics. These are the specs:
5940 Lumens
Super energy efficient 3 watt high output LEDs
34x 10,000K LED
10x Actinic 460nm LED
Use 132 watts
Individual & replaceable lenses

@marcah: No, they are 2 seperate panels that I retrofit to the canopy. I already had the T5's and am looking for a boost and something that potentially gets deeper.

Do you have a link or photos of the fixture?
