IMO, you could to a point, but you will need more light 2X65watt PC wont really cut it unless it is a condy. Your setup seems adequate although most people look for more room for their nem so their fish dont end up being a meal. But you could with alittle more light maybe another 2X65. Then you could do a BTA, LTA..thats about it.
 
You'd definitely need better lighting; either a good T5 HO fixture or a MH one, IMO. With PCs, you may find the nem moving around the tank looking for adequate light which would not be good.

I have a RBTA in a 15 gallon. It definitely limits what I can get for fish and where I can put other coral, but it is worth it to me. I only have one clown and one yellow wrasse. The wrasse avoids the RBTA nicely. Things like gobies or shrimp may inadvertently become lunch if they decided to perch on the nem.
