T5s are very nice. And 6 of them over a tank should definitely get you going with some stony corals. LPS easily. SPS likely. :-)

I've never had T5s so I can't say for sure. But I've researched them because I've considered putting them over the 37g I'll be setting up.

You and I have the same tank, 6 bulb t-5 is fine, but try to keep any sps in the upper section of the tank. I've got dual 250watt metal halides over mine and I would not trade anything for these halides, but I dont know how well clams will do at that depth. just my $.02
