I was suggested this light but here are the category's I was wanting for this light:

1.Is it a strong Led

2.will it penetrate 2 feet deep of water

3.how many of these lights will I need to cover a 5 ft tank

The tank I have is a 5 ft 125 gallon that's 2 ft deep, wanting to know if these lights grow coral and are good for anemones like long tentacles, rock flowers etc.

No I have never owned these, they are your typical 165 watt black boxes.
I have done a lot of research lately on LED lighting.

1) I believe so, yes. Many people use these boxes in this category.

2) yes, I believe it will penetrate to your sand bed. You're probably typically going get 100 to 200 par at the sand bed.

3) these generally cover 2 ft by 2 ft area. Most likely you will need three. You should have no problem growing SPS or anemone. You will probably get shading at the ends of the tank, it won't be that blanket of light wall to wall. If you don't like that look, you will need more or T5 for supplement.

I'm actually going to be looking at the noophyche K7 if you haven't looked at those.
