You would have to get in addition to the kit
~a fan kit
~and a heat sink

But that should defiantly be worth it for the extra light you would get!

Oh sorry i didnt see that u bought it already, and i dont know there return piolicy, but for what you have to start a cube tank will have the lights closer meaning they will affect less surface area but create a higher PAR. It is almost like a MH, you put them close together on one heat sink and hang it in the middle above your tank, and i would guess twards the top you could keep most corals/
