I have a 57 gallon Marineland built in tank, saltwater LR only, It has a built in double lighting system, I added 1 zoomeds 10000k Actinic bulb, and one Reef sun bulb is this sufficient for fowlr growth or even corals...?

Which one would you most rather focus on? Fish or coral?

Fish have no lighting stipulation, so, the focus would be on coral i imagine..I would try some shrooms under that lighting..Seen them kept under some very low lighting systems before. You dont get the proper colors in my opinion...
