I have a leemar 48 x 24 x 20 rimless. I want to put a 4 x 54 watt t5 retrofit plus a DIY 36 3 watt led on a 36 x 12 heat sink spaced out evenly. Will I be limited to what corals I can put in the tank? Thanks.

You should be good. Especially if you only plan on having SPS at the top.

If you evenly space out the 36 LED's with the correct optics your PAR will be more than enough.
