I'm planning to use a single PAR38 5x3W bulb (3white,2 blue) for my 60x30x20cm tank.

I want to know if the spread would be sufficient in lighting up most parts of the tank considering the shallow depth. (bulb height placement can be adjusted)

Would this be sufficient for keep LPS corals? Or do I need to get another bulb to have an even spread?

i think only 15w is not sufficent.

what our eyes see and what the coral needs is a huge gap apart.
