The ideal would be to use the T5HO if you have anything else than actinic, and if your T5HO are just actinic, then put egg crate or something to screen the MH and start with just a few hours per day and rise that slowly as the coral get back their colors.

If you only have actinic, that's not enough to sustain the coral. Also feeding them amino acid and zooplankton will help them recover because since they are deprived of zooxanthellae, they need other food source for now.
