Default Considering supplementing with Coralife Aqualight T5

What about these to supplement my 2-250W 14K MHs. Not planning on growing anything with them, low price ($99 ea) but wattage seems low (28w bulbs).

When I built the hood had planned it to fit pendant MHs and then NO 40W fluorescents that would be used for dusk/dawn. I've since been thinking actinics would be the way to go to get the corals to fluoresce but not finding any 40W actinic bulbs local. Seen the T5 fixture with daylight and actinics and considering as it would fit between the pendants and hood frame. It would be about 10" above the water and since sitting on the outside, it would also be above the euro-bracing. Like I said, just looking to get a like more from the corals.
