should be no problem with your lighting, I have 4 39watts T5ho on a 65 gal and my LTA and carpet are happy and hosting percs and Occs.

I have a RBTA under 2x T5HO.. though it isn't all that far from the light source. I'd say I am borderline though it is very happy and healthy. Mine will be moving into a 125g with 250w halides and T5HO actinics in a little while.

6-54w T5 will be just fine for it.

What type of carpet? I have 2 Haddonis in my 58, and have been playing with the idea of getting T5s (( though my laptop being on its last legs and my stereo's power amp going have pushed back the time table )).
