I'm running PCs right now. I got 2 soft corals and some polyps from someone who took their tank down so I would like to get T-5s but something like the Nova Extreme Pro is not in my budget right now. For the near future I'll be getting soft corals, zoas, and acans. No sps or clams or any other high light intensity.

My questions is will a 2x 39w T5 fisture (the Current USA Nova Extreme) be enough lighting for my tank. I know it does not have individual reflectors, but it is only about 13" from the top of my tank to the top of my sand bed.

Just to clarify because there are 2 Nova Extremes
