And this is the only text printed on the fixture itself:

Hmm even the description doesn't say how much light
Marineland Instant Ocean Saltwater Aquarium Kit (21"W X 11.5"D X 17.5"H)

Usually Ships the Next Business Day
This uniquely comprehensive kit contains the basic essentials any marine fishkeeper needs to get started and stay successful--the aquarium, the filter, the lighting, and the salt mix--plus many extras that make set-up and operation virtually stress free.
12 Gallon Eclipse Aquarium
The self-contained System 12 is perfect for home, office, or just about anywhere. Crystal clear acrylic with bowfront design. Filtration and lighting are all under the hood--no rear-hanging filter box to reduce wall clearance. A convenient rear access port readily accommodates accessories like a heater or airline tubing.
The BIO-Wheel Filtration if the best biological filter there is. Its filter cartridge ensures 100% super-efficient mechanical and chemical filtration.
And maintenance is easy. The preassembled Rite Size Cartridge for the power filter changes in seconds. The BIO-Wheel never needs replacing.
Instant Ocean Sea Salt
Backed by science and preferred by experts, Instant Ocean is the most carefully formulated sea salt in the world. It contains every major, minor, and trace element necessary for the health of your marine animals. And it provides a clear solution in minutes, quickly achieving and maintaining the perfect pH for your aquarium.
Instant Ocean Hydrometer
Easy to read and simple to operate, it delivers precise fill-range salinity and specific gravity readings accurate to ñ 0.001. There's also an easy-to-read two-color scale with safe zone, a permanent needle mount for ensured durability, and an extra-wide stabilizer base for easy-fill convenience--no wet hands.
Visi-Therm Stealth Submersible Aquarium Heater
Combines advanced streamlined design with precise water-calibrated accuracy and UL-approved performance assurance. The ultimate in easy-set adjustability, shatterproof/overheat protected durability, and safe, efficient operation. Just set it, install it, and plug it in.
BIO-Coat Marine Water Conditioner
Neutralizes chlorine, detoxifies heavy metals, and delivers immediate stress relief--replenishing the natural slime coat and protecting tissues damaged by netting or transport.
BIO-Blend Premium Marine Fish Food
Scientifically formulated for palatability, digestibility, and nutrient retention, BIO-Blend wafers stimulate even the most finicky marine fish to feed. Blended to maintain high energy, vibrant natural color, natural growth, and minimize tank waste. No need to touch, crumble, or prepare--one shake is all it takes!
All The Basics
  • 12-Gallon Eclipse Aquarium
  • Eclipse Compact Fluorescent Lighting

Thanks Kelli. I haven't figured out why they put fake plastic plants in a saltwater tank kit yet.

It looks like it may be an 18w power compact - how long is the bulb?

Okay,.. I think that is either a 32 or 36W PC bulb,.. and only one of them without any worth mentioning reflector.

I would definitally not put a clam in there,.. I wouldn't think about any SPS, and even LPS might be a consern.

Now I gotta go find my tape measure. From the silver part on the bulb to the end is 5 1/2" long.

I got to that number because it's 0.3A at 120V,.. Power = I*V

But the ballast might suck down some juce too,.. I'm not sure how that rating is done.
