    Would the MH and blues even out to make 50/50 like lite ? I have T5 now 3 day light 3 blue. Also how would that compare with my current light better or about the same ?

    If you have top of the line bulbs and good individual reflectors your T5 will be better than the unit you are looking at. You would want a 2 x 250 watt MH to be at where good T5HO lighting is.

    I have a 6x54w T5HO on my 75 and some of my LPS and softies are evicting some of their zooxanthellae.

    need to find out what 150w mh bulbs are installed. if they a good brand and what kelvin rating, which will make a difference as well.
