For what? Depending on which bulbs you choose, you can probably keep whatever you want. If you choose three low par bulbs it may only be enough for a mantis shrimp though.... ;)

What bulbs did you use?

If you did a mid day bulb, a Geismann Aquablue + (which is a white bulb) and an Actinic + then you are fine. If you did a true actinic and 2 Aquablue + bulbs, that would be fine too, and a little more blue. You could also do to Actinic + and a Mid day bulb and be very blue, and still have enough par.

I have 5 T5's over my 90 gallon SPS tank, and it is GREAT!

It is 2 seperate fixtures by ESU and they each have a 18 watt white and a 18 watt actinic. The tank is 30" x 19" x 12'.

I'm not a T5 expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I'd say you're fine with the lighting you have. You're growing mainly low light corals that will accept higher amounts of light, and you have a shallow tank. If it were a very deep tank I'd go with more, but it looks like you probably have enough.
