New tank....New lighting?

I recently upgraded from a 29gallon tank to a 46 gallon bowfront... Im currently using a solarmax 30" H.O. on it. Is this enough lighting or do i need to upgrade and what too?

i would think the light should work fine. if nothing else start the tank on it. if it doesnt seem to be enough you could always add some more light. or higher output bulbs
