is 6x39w t5 h/o enough for sps?

[manners]

i just added more light and was wondering if 6x39w t5 h/o over a 46g bowfront is enough for sps?
i have 3 x 10,000k 39w h/o t5 and 3 x atinics

With individual reflectors and good bulbs, I don't see an issue.

Looks like most 46g bow fronts are +/- 20" tall.
I have a T5 6-lamp fixture over a 30" tall tank and have good luck with SPS, when placed up high on the rock (9"-12" or so down from the light).

i have 2 light fixtures
nova 2x39w h/o t5 (1 atinic, 1 10,000k) with individual reflectors
oddesea 4x39w t5 h/o ( 1 10,000k, 1 18,000k, 2 atinics) with NO individual reflectors
i just subed out the 10,000k for the powerglow thismorning(better colour) i no its not as good for the corals but is it doing something ( otherthan making the colours pop) ?
also can i get individual reflectors for the odesea and glue em in or something?
