Frag Tank Lighting Question

I'm looking to setup a frag tank, either the 20l I already have, or a 33l for sale locally. I'm trying to keep everything simple and cheap, and seeing as how I have a lot of T5 parts, I would like to stick to T5s. Would a 2 bulb fixture running UV-L Aqua Sun (or other very high par bulbs) in individual reflectors with no actinics be enough to grow SPS or LPS in a 12" or shorter tank until they are ready to go in the DT? I'm very confident that it would grow softies great, but I'm still new to stony corals.

Yes it will be able to keep sps but you may not get great growth
