Light comparison question

[SaltWaterN00b]

Im currently using a 48" Custom Sea Life 4 x 65W PC Moonlite fixture.
It has docking legs, built in fan, two switches and an acrylic shield.

Would a 4 bulb T5 be better then the PC im currently using? Being that i have a hang on skimmer and filter the 6 bulb unit wont fit.

Thank you
Patrick

Yes.

To take full advantage of the improved efficiency, use individual parabolic reflectors for each T5 bulb and have sufficient cooling for all the bulbs.

I just posted a trade for a T5 in the for sale/trade forums. Would you mind giving me input on a T5 if someone offers a trade?
