If it aint broke.............


Assuming you're just looking for a reason to change to T5s:

Why are you thinking of changing?

Based on your tank pictures you want to keep sps corals. They need light so MH's are the best bet. However if your trying to keep the temp down for the summer T5's will work.

t5s are just as hot, watt for watt
