Without seeing specs of the light tube you are asking about, my comment would be; if you just want some light (for a FOWLR tank) these would be OK. If you hope to keep corals, I have serious doubts. How many watts are the leds? How many leds are there? what is the color spectrum? Will you be running just the leds or do you have other lights as well? Maybe a link to the tubes you are asking about would help?
