Best Answer

I would say no because most halogens have low kelvin ratings and the light they put off is too yellow/red to sustain coral growth. Go with a 14,000K HQI metal halide with supplemental VHO actinics if you want the best color and a lighting fixture capable of keeping the most light demanding organisms (SPS, clams, anemones, etc...)

This is entirely dependant on the size of the reef tank and the equipment you choose to run it.
