I currently have 3 250 watt radium bulbs over my 72" 180 along with 2 48 inch 54 watt t5's. I am thinking of increasing the t5's to 4 60 inch 80 watt t5's. Do do that I need to reduce the size of the reflectors.

I now have 3 Lumen Max Elite reflectors which are 15 inches square and would get 3 Hamilton Cabu Sun Mini reflectors which are 12.75 square. That should give me the room I need.

Is any potential benefit worth buying 3 new reflectors? I am satisfied with the tank color but might get more punch with t5's?
