I would miss the shimmering effect that MH gives, but I kind of want to try something new. I have 2 24 watt T5 actinics right now so I could devote all four bulbs to a full sprectum of bulbs. I have an SPS dominated tank though and I'm worried that 6 t5's won't be enough. Currently I'm using a 400 watt light, but have to keep all of my corals low in the tank to prevent burning.
Regarding overdriving these bulbs; would I be able to do this with my Workhorse 7 ballast, or would that be too much? Sorry, I'm limited with my electrical knowledge.
