I currently have a 75 gallon mixed reef with SPS, LPS and Softies. I am started to get a few more SPS so I am thinking about upgrading my lighting. Currently I am using four 4ft VHO off of a Icecap 660 ballast. I am thinking about using the ballast to drive T-5 bulbs. I was thinking about using 4 T-5's in the canopy.

Should I overdrive the t-5 bulbs or get a NO ballast? I am afraid I am going to cook my softies if I overdrive the bulbs

Should I use my VHO actinics with T-5 bulbs or change to all T-5's?

What bulb combination would get me close to the look of 14k halides?

Thanks
