I'm starting a coral farm. Will have acros and monti's. My coral farm tank is 96x48x12. Should I go with a combo t5 and MH or will t5 be good enough. My goal is to sell and trade. I only have experience with the Metal Halides. I 've gotten good results with those, but have not experimented...

Updated picture without any bryopsis. I welcome comments.

Here are the pics after bryopsis removal. Sorry for the glare. Took the pics at midday.
