Nice tank, looks like you are going to have a yellow polip take over soon. Good reason to up grade. Here some of mine.

For the money, I think they are great! I even have a few Acros growing great under the T5s

I have looked into t5S they sure seem to make a lot of light. I like my MH pretty good, but I got a couple actinics that are not so new anymore. I will have to do something before to long.

If I was going for a hard core SPS tank, I would switch to MH lighting, but since the majority of my corals are soft and LPS and a few SPS, the T5s do a great job!
