Depends, what are you planning on keeping ? What is the depth of your tank (and future)?For right now it sounds like over kill. I think 250's would be a better choice and a lot less power consumption. I seem to be getting big on power consumption lately
 Good deals always come up for stuff if your looking. I shut up now until more info

Then I think the 400's would be to much for what you need. Not happy with T5's ? I'm going to switch from MH's to T5's when I up-grade
