Acropora and T5???

[Trull]

hello, I have a project, I will like to make a tank of 50 gallons and I will like to put 8 T5 of 39 Watts. Think that, with this lighting, I can maintain SPS, Acropora for exemple... thank you

You can maintain SPS for sure under T5's but I to be honest I currently run both setups. And IMO nothing beats Halides. The colors on SPS pop more with Halides. Make sure if you go T5 route to really acclimate your corals to the light. T5's like to bleach corals that are not used to the T5's.
