Question how much light is too much???

hey all, i just got a 12g nano cube from my buddy. it needs some work, new lights, fans, and now a pump (after the wife got zapped pretty good lastnight) first Q: do u need actinic bulbs or is CF enough?
second Q: id 58watts to much CF power for this 12g?
i have rebuilt my own hood and used 2-15w t12CF ballasts and 1-28w t5CF ballast. i want maximum lighting for this turd, i am also gonna redo the fans for way better cross cooling.
