Nice work repurposing an expensive fixture. That Sfiligio is quite a beast, a good chunk of weight hanging from the ceiling there. Would it not have been better to figure out a way to add the T5's to the Mitras instead??
On another subject... is that plexiglass with holes covering the top of your tank? Any kind of barrier, glass, plexiglass, etc., will filter a fair amount of the light you're working so hard to have penetrate to your livestock. Plus a real pain to keep clean. Kudos to you for willing to put in that kind of effort. I think I may have lost one Lawnmower Blenny that went carpet surfing, but will always choose to take that chance rather than cover the top of my tank. If I were to consider any kind of cover, it would be some sort of thin mesh, possibly eggcrate.... never plexiglass. Nevertheless, if it works for you, great.
