Generally, the smaller the tube, the more efficient they are. You are better off with the t-5's. You are borderline too low on light. I would get some HO t-5's....

I can't give you a definite answer but I do not personally think that that's enough light. You may be able to get by with some low light requiring organisms but that's about it.
