If the MH is at the front of the tank will there be any rocks and corals under the light? There may be some light spilage outside of the tank, but that is determined more by the reflector and position above the tank. Even if your T-5 bulbs are only 25 watts each you still have over 350 watts of light over your tank. Thats enough for softies IMO.
