I had just 2 39 wat t5 and i could have xenia and some other soft corals but everything was at the top foot of the tank, I also have a 29 gallons tank... I would suggest looking for more wats and something thats ment for slatwater, if its used the bulbs will probably be shot anyways... I bought my lights for about 65 to 70 dollars a piece and i have two 10000k 39 wat white blue white blue

You want to aim for around 4 watts per gallon; that light is 2. Like Littleyea said, you would be able to keep soft corals with that amount of light, but probably nothing more.
