Well I added a 2 bulb T5 fixture to supplement the MH. I just haven't liked the color with just the MH's. Too white even abit yellowish. I find the coral colors somewhat dull.
T5's have added some much needed blue...perhaps abit too much and I will play with the bulb choices later. But...I am much happier with the colors. The coral colors appear much brighter and the greens, even oranges are much brighter. Ofcourse I have a hard time trying to capture the true colors with my camera settings but this does basically show the difference.
(Thanks Kev for getting me a fixture so quickly!)

Just realized my GSP rock fell down in the back when I looked at the pics...damn...guess I gotta go get wet to fix it...

Here's a couple before and after pics:
