What can I grow with T5's?

After days and days of researching, I got a handle on just about everything except for this crucial part, lighting. I probably going to go with a 54 corner. I want in the future a reef tank so I dont want to upgrade my lights down the road. I found these Current USA Nova Extreme Pro T5 lights, seems like people like them. Would this light setup be good for me, I also want to get some moonlights, any recommendations?
In the future, I would like to have some Anemones, and some coral (not really sure with all those types LOL). Of course, fish! Thanks for the help!

the Nova extreme pro is a good light but it the Current USA stuff is on the lower end of T5 fixtures.
you would be better off with a Tek Fixture or Aquactinics Constellation. the best would be ATI Powermodule Fixture.

Hey now dont be bashing

I keep hard and soft coral in my 46 with the nova. BUT I had to buy new lights online because the ones that it comes with are crappy. I have alot of those guisman (??) lights (if thats how you spell it)

One of my LFS has a 54 corner with a 4-bulb TEK fixture, and has a bit of everything. I don't think you're going to be able to fit anything much bigger.
Try this as a bulb combo:
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aquablue Special
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aquablue Special or UVL Aquasun
