I currently have a 90 gallon mixed reef with 2 Vega Colors running. I am going to make the switch and try T5's for the meantime. I have been having issues with my corals when it comes to the Vegas, I cannot seem to dial them in. I wanted to get some feedback on what I plan as far as bulbs and times for the T5's.

I've attached a spreadsheet detailing what I am planning.

I will be using a Hamilton Fiji Sun 48 inch 6x54 watt lamp and will be changing out the stock bulbs for ATI bulbs.

Let me know what you think.
