The 400's are there to stay until something better comes along.
so your saying that you want a nice fixture of T-5's i have a 8 bulb fixture and its alot of lighting to. I have alot of growth , the key is the bulbs that you put in the fixutre and having the indivdual reflectors makes a huge difference too.
