Is this enough for a 29 gal set up?

Someone please let me know if this would be enough for corals in a 29 gal setup. Thanks in advance.

Well the link goes to a 48" fixture, and a 29 gallon tank is either 30 or 36" I believe. A 50-55 gallon tank is USUALLY 48", but I have seen then at 36" too. So to answer your question, MAYBE!!!

What are you planning on keeping? I used 220 watts of PC 2 white 2 blue for a few years and had excellent results with LPS and Softies, I would NOT recommend SPS or Clams using PC's though.

Running two 55w PC fluorescents over a 29-gal tank would allow you to keep certain soft corals that do not require intense light but that's about it. However, most of the comments that I have read online about that brand were less than flattering. This is probably a case of you get what you pay for.
