Hi all I was thinking of upgrading to T5 lights. I have a 250w MH on a MAG. ballast with a 14000k bulb(just switched from a 10000k) and I run 2 65w PC's for actinic the tank is a 54gal corner so lighting and flow are a pain is this even worth it?

Many people argue about if MH is better than t5 and vice versa.
A simple upgrade that you could do is swap your pc for t5. They can usually be run from the same ballast. All you need is for endcaps and preferably reflectors.
Hope this helps a bit.
