t5, the shimmer has never been a sell for me, current tank i have the coralife pro 250w with pc's, { got it for a great price } nice light and keeps corals happy. new tank is 36x24x22 and i will be using a tek 8 bulb t5, reason for liking t5 better is you get a more even complete light coverage, heat really isnt much less just spread further across tank instead of a spot light, and 400w is 400w reguardless of whether it is from mh or t5, also the niceness of t5 is being able to run multiple color temps of bulbs, this is the fixture i personally would get is $ wasnt a problem
