I have a 75 gallon bow front tank and I currently have a 48 inch fluval sea marine 59 watt and I am currently just running that but I also have a 48 inch current usa light which is just a white light or a black light would it be ok to put both on at the same time for corals or would it be to bright?

It may be to bright for viewing but chances are it won't necessarily add much for the corals.

59w is low and I would recommend supplementing with Orphek OR3 light bars ( Sky blue and blue plus) or a couple of noopsyche K7 pros
