Marine lighting

What type of lighting is best for a FOWLR tank? I read that puffers prefer lower lighting. I have LEDs for a reef tank but I have no coral. Is this too bright? The other light option I am looking at says its for freshwater. It's much dimmer. Which would be best?

LEDs are pretty bright. Either regular fluorescent or PCs would be fine.
