No, not powerful enough, these are < 6000mcd led's. I can tell you from experience, 12,000mcd's are adequate for softies/lps at 1" spacing on a standard 2.5g tank.

While you could basically cover the tank with these - I doubt you'd find enough intensity for anything but low light corals in a very shallow tank.
