Light Suitability

So I am going to be getting a 12" shallow reef tank. Can't remember the exact dimensions but it is roughly 30 gallons.

I would like to keep a smaller RBTA and a pair of Onyx, It is a Reef Ready tank and will be strictly dedicated to these 3 animals. My Question-

Is this LED light adequate for the NEM???
12 LED PAR38 Bulb (Mixed Color with UV)
Link- http://www.rapidled.com/12-led-par38-bulb-mixed-color-with-uv/

it is on RAPID LED's site but I can't seem to find anyone on the forum that is keeping them with nems...I can adjust the height off the water level depending on the requirements of the RBTA..

Any help is appreciated.
 
It is close to the output of a Kessil A150, I wouldn't see to many problems keeping a BTA with it (they require less light than anemone like magnificas) but I would shoot for a little more powerful light.

If you choose to go that route, make sure the anemone is directly underneath the light source.
 
I keep rbta under a par38 LEDtric full spectrum and they (and I) love it. Being only 12" deep to with 80-120 degree optics, and you'll need a bulb for each square foot or so of the tank.
