Would this be overkill?

you have to watch led i really want them but you have to make it dimmable and see what you tank likes. I have had plenty of people bleach their corals with a drastic light change to led's. When the RGBY's come down that they have in Japan i'll get my friend to buy and ship them to me.

Definitely dimmable or at the very least, the ability to change the height of the fixture over your tank. The corals I have in my NC with LEDs bleached out and the only way I helped was to cover up some of the light in order to reduce the intensity.

As long as you are able to acclimate your corals slowly to the lights they will be fine. Hang them at least 12" off the top. With my AI I increased the intensity about 5% on the B and RB each week and 2% on the W.
