Default lighting question

Is there any chance that 4X 36W PL light be able to keep any plant happily
alive in a 5'X2'X2' tank ?



If I am calculating right thatıs about a 150 gallon tank with 144 watts of
light. So at least if you are following the lighting rules I've read it's a
low light tank with less than 1 watt per gallon. But I have read that larger
tanks don't require as many watts per gallon to achieve the same results.
Anyone with a big tank able to chime in?
