Talking How about another light question

I have had my tank up for about 3months with just a 4 bulb T5 ho Nova extreme light. I was wondering if I could fit a 4x96 watt PC over the top of the tank would it be to much light for my corals. The corals I have so far are Xenia, Singularia, Colt Coral, Finger Leather, Frog Spawn, a tons of purple and stripped mushrooms, a couple of fuzzy mushrooms, and a HUGE toadstool. Thank you for the help.

William

The T5 setup you have is adequate for what you're keeping, why add more light and expense? If you really wanna add more light why not a couple 175 watt halides, that would be better use of your money and would save a little on the power bill to.
