You've got 5 watts per gallon it should be fine but it will depend on how deep the water is what type of coral only time will tell

You'll be more than fine! Especially if you got them in full-spectrum

Its a 2ft light over a tank thats only a foot wide

Thats my concern only a portion of the light is getting to the tank maybe mirrors on each side? to reflect more light? Or even copy paper could work.

So the light being bigger then the tank will be a problem?

Your kinda wasting light by having it shine on the over hang you can reclaim some of the lost light by bending some copy paper into a C shape and putting on the ends of the tank it will reflect some more light into the tank
