Is this lighting enough?

A lot of corals can adapt to lower lighting conditions. But I think in this case that T5's will not be enough to keep the birds nest.
ORA keeps them under 250 Watt MH's, It's possible, but I don't think it will survive the adjustment period.

Well, besides lighting, what are your water parameters? Nitrate, phosphate, calcium and alkalinity and ph, Please? How tall is your tank? How much water volume do you have? How high can you place the coral? How much flow do you have?
We can't just say, "yeah, go ahead and get that coral because your lighting is good enough." That would not be very responsible, would it?

ORA keeps them under the halides because its what they have...
Birdsnest will do fine under T5 HO's if its kept at the top of the tank

Sorry kinda generic . Its a 47 bow wit a 20 gal sump tank, I feel my water levels were nice 3 weeks ago but i did something stupid. I cleaned out my garage last weekend and I did not realize but I gave them my box good test kits my refractometer ect. I can get it up high, here is a pic anywhere on the left side would work.
