Would a 24 inch ATI sunpower t5 4 bulb fixture be enough on a 54 gallon corner bowfront reef tank, I will have clams, anenome, lps corals and softies, but no SPS corals

The clams would be what I would worry about. They really like intense light.

The clam is what I would worry about the most. Have you thought about a single 250W MH pendant? That tank is pretty deep and the MH would give good penetration.
