is this lighting enough

[joshuashih1]

I have 2 ragular florecint light bulbls not the shop light kind will that be enough light for a 40 gallon tank?

If the tank is fish only, it doesn't matter what kind of lighting you have. If your talking about keeping corals, you need to be a little more specific. Exactly what kind of bulbs do you have?

Yeah, that'll be fine for just a fish only tank. What type of fixture are you gonna use over the tank?

I have something that I think is good but will it work for corls (any kind)

No, the bulbs you listed above will not be sufficient for coral
