yes. But it may produce unwanted algae. Its pretty inexpensive to change the tubes to a 8,000 10,ooo k tube. Check on ebay. Topdogsellers has decent ones CHEAP.
Itll replace yucky algae with corraline in no time

Here is the link. I am having a really difficult time finding light fixtures that are long enough for the aquarium. The aquarium is 72" inches long. This is about all I could find so far:

That light can work on your tank but only for the FOWLR, you might need two for better color on your fish.
Do they have a Blue only?
As you can run a mixed White/blue in the back and Blue only in the front.
Have a picture of your tank?

I thought I may need 2, can I change the lights myself?
I don't have a picture of it. I move next weekend so I am going to buy it after I do but I plan on getting the 120 gallon by Innovative Marine. I have only done freshwater up until this point, but my tank is a 47 gallon, I wanted to go bigger when I do the saltwater. I won't go to do this until end of April-early May, I am just trying to do my research now and figure out what I need so I can do it once I am ready.

Doing a research will benefit you from making mistakes in this hobby, you're up to a good start.
And no on the chance of light for the link you send on here.

It's almost impossible to change out the LED's from that light.
Even the High end lights as Ecotech radion or AI hydras's, they will let you change out the whole light puck but that's it.

Now this is a much better light that the first and not just a little but a lot.
With this light fixture you can later on also grow some corals in your tank if you like, saves you from upgrading.

Reefing is all about the adventure
If you are doing saltwater, I would get a light so that If you decided to add coral you can then you will not be putting out double the expense. Metal Halide is going to run hot and you will be looking to find a way to cool you water temp. Are you on a budget?

I would like to not have to spend a lot of money on lighting since I am not doing a reef system. I am having a hard time finding cheap lights for a 72" long aquarium. I found the ones that I posted a few posts up that was less than half this but I read and was told on here also that I would probably need two which would put me at almost this price anyways. I am not sure what I am going to do as far as lights yet.

We have a few sponsors on here that have some decent LED lights and not breaking the bank but probably need two to lit up a 72" tank.
Do you have the tank already?

You have a lot more possibilities coming down to a light choice if you go with a 120 and it cost you less $$$.

Top of the line LED and one will be enough to lit a 120 FOWLR.
