no power compacts are not really cheaper then T5s they are more or less the same price, but lack the output and the bulbes are more expensive to replace

48" 4Ft 4 TUBE T5 HO FLUORESCENT GROW LIGHT SYSTEM BULB | eBay
the only thing is you'd have to change the bubles, those are 6500k and more for planted aquariums or green house plant growing.
best bet is put 2 actinic and 2 12000k lamps

My LFS keeps everything under PC bulbs, sps included. As long as they are close enough to the light just about anything can go under PC bulbs. They have acropora, porites etc. in their 1' deep tank under maybe 3 watt per gallon of PC and they look healthy and fluoresce.
