The SPS have better/brighter colouring under the MH. The growth rate is almost double (if not more) under the MH as well. Keep in mind it is a 250w hqi on a 30g tank and the T5 (36") is now (just replaced the bulbs) 3 mid day and 3 pure atinic on a 120g. I will say though, that when it's just the 3 atinic bulbs on, the tank looks great.
