Need some advice have a 29 gallon fowlr looking to upgrade to a t5/metal halide LED 48 watt would this be OK for certain soft coral
 
t5/metal halide LED

I'm confused. Are you upgrading from the t5/MH to the LED? If so, there are LEDs out there now that will grow anything you like from SPS to softies. I recently purchased a Reefbreeders Photon 48 and i've seen growth on SPS frags I got just two weeks ago. My acans and zoas are growing great.
 
T-5 or Metal Halide or LED 48 watt would be fine for most corals.
 
hello

The new hood I am looking at is a t5/led there calling it a hybrid I have a 50/50 coral reef fluorescent right now
