I really think some of my corals didn't appreciate 246 watts of light on them, although they were doing well. Based on some very successful SPS tanks with T5s only (such as the RSM 250), I decided to cut my electricity use a bit, plus running a 6xT5 fixture has dropped my tank temperature by at least 1 degree F, and I've cut evaporation by not having my cooling fans running as much (I don't think they've come on since I switched). The hardest part was trying to find an affordable 24 inch hood with 6 T5s. I've only been running it about 2-3 weeks, but so far the corals are fine. I have very few SPS left, as my Flame Angel ate most of them, so I saw no need at this time to be running an HQI.
