Illuminaire T5 Lighting: 4 X 24w Tubes

[1entra]

Just wondering would an overhead illuminaire containg 3 x 24w 14000k T5 daylight tubes + 1 x 24w blue actinic be sufficient enough to keep corals in a tank measuring 32" x 20" x 14" (whd)?

If so what corals would I be able to keep in the tank?

And if not, then what size lightng would I require?

All advice and comments would be appreciated.

Would work for low and medium light requiring corals. Softies, and easier LPS. I wouldn't try more difficult LPS, clams, nems, or SPS though.

As a side note. Because depth of water and front-back dept of the tank can easily be confused its often best to describe a tank in terms of length, width, and height

I have 4x 55w T5 50/50 lights on my tank and I am keeping corals and a nem no problem!

But I do have lots of reflectors to help with lighting. A lot of people tend to forget how much reflectors help with lighting and it is very rarely mentioned, I think its mostly because people have lighting UNITS which are pre fabbed?
