Hey Everyone! Reefgeek here, I am fairly new to this hobby, I'm coming up on a year, I have a 20 gallon long reef tank with two light fixtures, a Marineland Reef LED and Current USA Orbit Led specs below\/\/\/

Marineland 460nm blue/10,000K white LED and my USA Current Orbit LED 8,000K white along with 445nm actinic blue

Is this to much lighting for my tank? Corals seemed to be doing great with just one of the two lights on there but I was told that i need more light so I added the second fixture in there. What should I do? To much light? Just use one? Thanks! Picture is of tank with both fixtures. Thanks!
 
Listen to what your corals are telling you. If they look happy why change anything. While those lights may be considered a little weak as long as your coral looks good go with it.
 
Nothing wrong with your set up. Looks to be in good shape.
 
I've done some research i was going to purchase your light but learned it wasn't made to house SPS corals becuase it's not enough lighting for them and there are many dark spots left. However for soft corals and lps its great! just as everyone else said if your corals love it then its doing the job right.
