Been using a Tek Light 4 X 29W T5 HO and all my corals, including SPS, thrive. But as we all know it's more then lighting and I think my bio filter with EcoSystem Miracle Mud has a lot to do with it as well as excellent flow.

Besides two actinic I run a 6500K mid day and 1100k super and with the reflectors way more then enough for this 65g.

I have a bta, crocea, and montipora under a 5 x 39 watt t5 aquactinic fixture and they're doing well. It always baffles me when people claim that sps and clams cannot be kept under t5 when a previous TOTM winner was a t5 lit sps dominated tank.
