Is my lighting setup good enough for LPS?

[RC51]

Hi! I currently have a 6 gallon nano cube that I am setting up and wondering if Its possible to keep LPS with the lighting equipment I have. I have a hybrid set up of a blue LED bar with blue, red, and white and 3 T5 bulbs.

LPS in general are not super high light corals, so I believe you will have plenty of light for them regardless of bulb selection with the (3) T5 bulbs over a 6 gallon. May even have to watch that you dont have too much light.

what length are the T5 bulbs and are they T5HO or just regular T5?

They are 30cm 8w T5s
1 Coral spesific blue
1 Coral growing purple-ish bulb
1 blue/white-ish bulb from hardware store

Is it possible to grow some easy SPS ?

I am not real familiar with those bulbs or running a system that small. If you want to try SPS, start with some montis or something easy and see how it goes.

Personally I think keeping parameters stable enough in that small of a system would be more of an issue than lighting. Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks for your advice!
