You have the same amount of lighting. I have 2x250w, just as you have with 4x54w compact flourescent actinics. The only difference is you have t5 actinics. Otherwise they are the same...you are right. Check out my other videos that are more recent. Trust me I have a ton of corals and clams and know what they need to survive. I think somewhere around 200 species of corals in my new 200g tank.
