Irrespective of the brand. Look at what the kind of wattage the people who replied to this post are using.
8x80 t5 ati powermodule 2x tek 6x39w HOT5s I think John is using the same setup as Doug I am using 8x 54watt T5HO's IMHO you need more light. MH are a good choice too. 2 x 400 watt MH ights on that tank should just about do it.

How far off the sandbed are your lights? If they are t5's you should probably just rest them on the rim of the tank - from what i read (could be wrong) t5's max out at a depth of 20-24".
The Powermodules have much higher PAR than all other t5ho fixtures so they still work well at those depths. Reefgeek has 10% of this weekend on the sunpower models.
