This is why I was thinking that it would be better for me to stick with my t5's.

I cannot retrofit MH to my existing lights. I'm not to concerned about growing SPS.

Currently in my tank the PC lights cover the entire back side of the tank providing lighting the whole way across the tank and the T5s light the front area covering 30 inchs over the center of the tank leaving about 9 inchs on both sides of the tank which is a little bit darker than the rest of the tank.

If I were to get the MH it would go in place of the T5 lights at the front. hmm... now that you guys ask me these question i begin to see more and more that it won't work.. I think with the MH at the front like that it would be having a lot of wasted light going to places where it does not need it. ie. it would be shineing on the floor in the front of the tank...?

well tell me what you think...
