I'm in the process of getting my 56 gallon reef going, but am stuck at lighting options. Will a current 24" satellite fixture work? It's all LED with 445nm blue and 6500k whites. I can turn the white and blue up and down as much as I want. I also have a 24" marineland LED bar that sucks lol but if I use both together I should be pushing almost 20w with almost 1800-1900 lumens right? Aslong as I keep the blue at a higher range, with this lighting work? And what corals will work best with it?

I'd go with a chinese led fixture from ebay. Better light output, colors and price.
