To clarify, the IC 430 will run your bulbs to spec, the IC660 will overdrive them.

sagitarius, theres a lot of great information on T5s in the equipment forum. They're rather lengthy... every wants bulb configurations. If you have some time to kill... i'd check it out. hope that helps.
I've looked into a lot of stuff about T5s.. Here are a couple links that I have off the bat..

Here's also a short study that Korallenriff did with ATI and Fauna Marin Bulbs (Aquascience) and KZ and Giesemann.
