what is your goal, ie. by upgrading do you hope to keep different corals?
also how deep is your tank, befor we can recomend anything thoes are a couple things we need to know. if you have a rather shallow tank T5 might be a option but if the tank is over 12" tall I am going to recomend MH as an upgrade for the most bang for your buck. T5 is still verry new and as of yet unproven for longevity and is a lower intensity light when compared to MH but it is comparable to PC and VHO with a lot of space saving which enables you to put more bulbs in.
