If I went from 3 t12 lights on an ice cap ballast and went to 4 t5s on an ice cap ballast, how much do you think that would raise the electricity?

Oh heck I guess that would help. I'm not really sure. I have a 65 gallon AGA that is tall and I'm looking to get better lighting for my corals but I also want it natural looking because the lights I have now have a bluish look. Any suggestions would help. i only really want to keep softies maybe one or to lps at the top of the tank.
