I agree with DesertReefT4r. If you can add the T5s it should help and not hurt what you are already doing. I added T5s to my 4 Hydra setup and wouldn't think twice about doing it again. I like that the T5s just work and no need to tinker with them. I have the Hydras to tinker with if necessary and just let the T5s shed some light in the tank. I went with the Aquatic Life T5HO 61" fixture. Working like a champ. I will say that if you do not have a chiller or some type of evaporative cooling, adding the T5s will increase your average temperature, so that is something that you have to consider.
