I'd say once you get your Ca & Alk in check you could go with some encrusting monti, green slimers are pretty easy to care for, they colour up nicely and grow relatively fast. Blue tip staghorn, or staghorn's in general are fairly hardy. Some may disagree, but I find Millepora's to be fairly easy to keep, they grow fast and again, colour up nicely.. Another easy and fast grower is a birdsnest.. they are really neat once they are grown into colonies, they grow super fast. That's all I can think of for now...

I have kept all of these SPS and more under 150 & 250w HQI , in a 20 gallon tank. I am pretty sure that the T5's will be sufficient for the majority of these SPS..

I am sure you can have corals like montipora digitata, caps, staghorns, etc could be grown off the glass. I'd use epoxy as I doubt super glue would work that well. Once it starts encrusting then it will branch out. I have never tried this though so don't take my word for it haha.
