If you mean 46W instead of 46L then yes, that is enough light. If you didn't mean 46W then I don't understand what you mean.

hmm, is there any indication as to what the wattage is at all?
Knowing of the shelf tanks you probably won't have enough light to grow anything other than the very lowest light plants, if anything at all.
1-2wpg is very low 3-4 is the very most you will ever want.
