Do you think a Current U.S.A Orbit 48"-60" Marine light is over kill and maybe will bleach some of my "stuff" (basics: Zoas, Kenyan Tree, Mushroom looking softies, hammer coral, and rock anemone)? I took down my 120 gallon tank and have this light I love personally because of the timers and settings and ease of use without having to mount to my ceiling or walls (I know - im a newbie ). Besides it hanging over the 20 gallon long and looking kinda funny do you think this is a bad idea? My thinking was - the bigger light, the more wattage. But I could get the right length one so it doesn't hang over? Current LED specs from website:

48" - 60" 46.8 x 3.5 x 0.44 46 Watts 96 Dual Daylight/96 Dual Actinic LEDs, 192 LEDs Total

instead of

24" - 36" 22.8 x 3.5 x 0.44 23 Watts 48 Dual Daylight/48 Dual Actinic LEDs, 96 LEDs Total
