I agree, if I were setting up a new tank that size, for those corals, I'd go T5. You can get great color, great growth and they're easy. Cost of bulbs? pfft, whatever, as you said, it's the cost of a coral. You can find a nice used unit for a couple hundred bucks. Spend the rest of the budget on filling the tank. A 65g with a Mitras and no corals is gonna look like crap
MH "may" introduce heat issues you don't need to deal with and for softies and LPS, a bit overkill.
