I dont get this at all !

Ive got 3 40w About 44 inch fluorescent tubes each with there own light spectrum in my 120 gallon tank ie

1 blue
1 white
1 red

will i Calculate it 40watt x 3 divided by 120gal = 1wat per gallon ?

Thats not my real problem i think my light is much more than that since I have more area of Light?
