It depends on what type of tank you want to keep. If it's a fish only those will be fine. But if you are going to keep coral you'll be better to get a more intense light source. I'm a huge supporter of High-Output T-5's (make sure they're High Output, those are just normal output). But since you're illuminating a Cube I'd have to steer you in the direction of a HQI Pendant, 150 watts minimum.
