with T5's, it depends on your taste of color, since you can change the bulbs to your liking. I use a 6 bulb fixture with 4x ATI Blue+, and 2x Coral+
 
That should be enough to sustain them but as for growth at that light level I think for the duncans you should feed them if you want to see speedy growth or recovery, they can grow pretty fast, when i first started with a duncan it was one head 1 inch across then it closed up for over a month, I spent that time feeding the tiny heads on the outside hikari marine s pellets, almost every day, then they grew and now finally the main head reappeared . Rics should be fed too, and zoos just leave em be where you put them. Do not move them around, put them somewhere and they will attach themselves and spread.
