I am currently running, quite successfully, a 65g tank with a 36" PC fixture by Orbit... 6 bulbs - 3 actinic, 3 10,000K daylight. While I do have shrooms, GSP, and leathers, I also have a 4" clam and an open brain that are thriving. I have read much about T5s and am wondering... Can I replace a couple or all of my daylight bulbs with T5s?

Are you just wanting to pull out the bulb's and add t5's or are you asking could you replace them with another t5 fixture? The t5's are not going to fit in your fixture as there to narrow for the endcaps and shorter than a regular florecent bulb.
