bright stix from walmart/home depot

this say they are for aquariums, 33 watts per fixture.
If i buy two then that would be 66 watts for a 12 galloin nano.
So 5 something watts per gallon would that be good enough for soft corals / anemones?
Will it work at all?
thankx

Do you know what the kelvin rating is on these lights? They need to be a minimum of 5500K for saltware applications. Anything less is insufficient to support corals, and will cause algae problems.
