Again, Mine was Icecap overdriven so take it for what it's worth, After running T5s for a year, What is good for LPS is not so good for SPS and vice-versa. Your best off keeping two seperate systems to be the most successful with both when using T5s. Acropora did quite well but the LPS that I mentioned in earilier posts definately suffered.
I had about 20 SPS frags all a good variety of colors, to maintain colors good, you need low nutrient which may have contributed to my dissapointment with LPS under T5s. All the of Acropora frags came from 250W MH or better. Suprisingly, most all maintained color well with little shifts. Only difference was they were lighter in color but did maintain the overall color pretty well. Blues and purples had no problems which typically are the first to brown out or change color due to intensity. Only major change was greens were difficult to maintain a bright green ( Remember, I used VHO actinics, did not use the Blue+ bulbs which may help or resolve but for aethetic reasons I didn't like the Blue+ at all because a number of coral colors get drowned out by all the blue ). Most turned closer to yellow. Since they were small frags difficult to tell about growth. Growth was slow but that is not uncommon with small frags as usually takes close to a year before they start to take off. My hunch though based on my years of experience with MH that I would have grown better under the MH but that's just my opinion.
