T'5s

Does any one have Nova Extreme x2 t5 saltwater lights? Can you put any type of Corals under them?

I am not 100% sure but I think nova and outer orbit might be made by the same company...If so I can tell you i love my outer orbit hqi/t5 combo!
Everything I have read says you can keep corals with t5's as long as you have enough wattage t5 but I am a personal fan of metal halide...I love the shimmer and would highly recommend them!
Depending on your tank size...If you get something like a 250w hqi/t5 combo you will be able to keep just about anything but would need to know tank size to be sure, general rule of thunb seems to be 2' per HL.

Its a 55g 48in long

if you get like a 48" hqi/t5 combo you should be able to keep whatever you want...

I'd also like to recommend the Coralife Aqualight Pro series if you're looking for recommendations...
That's what I'm running and it's just flat out amazing

you wont be able to keep much with only two bulbs. you're going to want between 4-6.
