I don't mind the T5s, they are working great but I went to a fellow members home to purchase some corals and noticed his corals were growing out of control. He had mushrooms spreading like ivy across his tank. He had mH lights. I have an 8 bulb T5 that is doing the job just fine but my coral growth is somewhat limited. i guess the seed has been planted in my head that mH lights will provide better coral growth-soft or hard.
pterfloth- I was planning on buying your system but it is a bit long (6 ft) and wayyy too much wattage for me. You must have a black belt in the art of saltwater aquariums. I'm just a relative newby.

 Actually, 2-400w Mh would look darn good over your tank. That's what I used to run on my 120. Personally, I don't think we can ever provide too much light for SPS, nor could we ever come close giving them as much light as they see in nature. I just switched to 1468w over my 6 ft 200 and it is definitely not too much light. I guess I am to lights what asmodeus is to skimmers. BTW, if you are interested in 2x400w, have I got a deal for you!
