lighting question

Hello

I have a lighting question

 

my tank is a 20x20x20 cube SPS dominated reef

 

Should i keep my hydra 26HD (everything is at 120% but the red green is at 30 and white at 80)

or do it get a ATI 6X 24W Fixture?

T5's give you just as much control anymore and i've noticed coral's under LED change colors. sometimes for the better...sometimes not. But if you go t5 you have to make sure you're willing to replace the lights every 6-8 months.

Yeah people say the price adds up but lets say a 6 bulb fixure, 100$ to change the bulbs, most of us SPS reefers spend that on two or three frags :P

I personally think T5 are better suited for growing SPS mainly because of the shadowing that LED lighting causes. I think the shadowing can be resolved by using more LEDs at lower watts or just using a hybrid setup. Maybe consider adding two T5s onto the hydra and turning down the LEDs some to compensate.
