    I've got a buddy that has kept them under pc's. T5-6's would be better.

    yeah they would be fine, put them up closer to the light.
    FYI also check out uvl pc bulbs with internal reflecters. i seen some lit up at my salty shop and they get every last lumen into the tank. way better than regular coralife, orbit, pc bulbs
