They claim its for reef tank, I've got a handful of Zoas and mushrooms and they're doing great. I've seen someone keeping an anemone under it, granted it was a much smaller tank.
Idk, it’s probably fine but I wouldn’t keep expensive corals under something I’m not sure of the PAR. Hope it grows well!

I've got a 48" Nicrew Classic LED on a 75g, and was wondering if anyone had used this for SPS and LPS corals on a similar sized tank.
You mean this one:

Not this one .



Right?
Both are called" classic" in part

Then there is this one:

Full honesty, I really wouldn't suggest just one of any of them for a freshwater planted tank.

i've used the freshwater one to grow plants just fine. It won't grow demanding stuff, but easy/medium plants did fine.

What size is the size of the actual light? I need 6 30” for 8foot lps/softie tank, don’t know if I need the 24”-30. Or 30”-36”

Haven't tested it, they claim 108 PAR at 12" depth, figured I'd try a low end LPS
Go with Micromussa(Acans). I’ve had mine all over the place in par, but they definitely like it lower and there’s lots of great color combos to choose from
