I am currently running 4, 54 watt T5 48" bulbs on my 90. The light is higher off of the aquarium than I like it because its an 8 bulb fixture and as wide as the tank. I purchased a Maxspect Jump L165. It is not big enough to manage the entire 90 so I thought I'd try the Nicrew Hypereef 30 on the other side. The T5s make a lot of heat. I run 3 blues and a white. The maxspect makes the tank look prettier with its spectrum. I haven't had the Nicrew in the tank yet. Does it seem like these will be enough? Is there are reason apart from cost people are getting away from T5?
