hi all. building a custom lid for my 33 gal and want to make sure I have enogh lighting for corals and anemones. I have 2x 28w T5HO and a set of moon lights. Is this going to be enough I should I place in more T5's like I am thinking. the tank dimensions are 36x12.75x24

That is not enough for anemones. 28w T5 are standard output, not high-output which you want to use. 36" T5-ho lamps are 39w. IMO you're going to want at least four with individual reflectors.
Although this lighting would be enough for anemones, in a tank that small, I'd be more concerned about it roaming and killing corals as a result.
