Ya my lighting (t5s) grows my sps well, so I figure you should be alright. In the end it will depend on bulb selection as to how quick the coral will grow.

You'll do fine with it. You'll do even better if you run a small fan to blow air across the bulbs.

Why is that? (Air across the bulbs)

The bulbs run optimally I believe at a certain temperature. I think the label-end of the tube should be around 115 deg F.

Having a small fan blowing on the bulbs will help prolong bulb life.
