With enough T5's over the tank I think it would be fine.

Only reason i asked what fixture is because asking can t5's keep clams, yes and no. Some fixtures supply enough light for all species while others done. Saying yes to t5's will work, a person can be misinformed and purchase like a 2x54watt thinking this will be enough
Fishytime gave a great example of an answer, listing what fixture he is using. perfect
