hi all,

i currently have an acrylic 125g (60L x 24W x 20T) that has one 250w Phoenix and one 250w 10K XM SE. the way the bracing works on the tank means i have to get a 3rd halide to cover up the whole tank (there are 3 gaps in the bracing rather than 2). however, instead of that, i am considering replacing the halides with a bank of maybe 8 or 10 54w T5's. would that be a good idea? or should i just get another halide. if i stick with halides, i will be getting some T5 anyway for sup., so i figure it might be better just to go all out T5 and save some electricity. what do you think? btw, the tank will be primarily SPS and i don't stack my rocks very high (highest ones are about halfway up the tank)

thanks
