I have softies and LPS in there right now but would like to brighten up the tank and give my zoos more colour and later on have some SPS.
I was going to go out and buy 2 Viper T2 70watt HQI units today but i thought i would do some more research first.
Is 250 watt overkill? or is 150 watt ok? with T-5's they only add up to 96 watts...
Any input would be appreciated.

Everything I kept under my halides I can keep under my t5's. Short of the different visuals each gives (whichis up to the viewer) and the minimal heat from my t5's. they are the same (livestock sustainability). That being said i am going back to 20k metal halides with the nano cube sometime during Christmas.
