Lights for Refuge

[toddpolish]

I need help...inside the stand, I've got 6" between the top of my refuge and the bottom of my tank.
I'm guilty of buying then asking, but the worst I lose out is the $9 that I spent on the handful of red caluerpa-like stuff (forgot the name).
need lighting - for time being I bought 2 of those 60watt PLANT bulbs. will that be ok for now?
