Would a 24 inch ATI sunpower t5 4 bulb fixture be enough on a 54 gallon corner bowfront reef tank, I will have clams, anenome, lps corals and softies, but no SPS corals

The clams would be what I would worry about. They really like intense light.

I kept a clam under power compact for a bit and it seemed to do fine. I just had it almost at the top of the tank... I think i could do that if i went t5s right?

The clam is what I would worry about the most. Have you thought about a single 250W MH pendant? That tank is pretty deep and the MH would give good penetration.
