I would strongly recommend not going with T5's. If you use lumen brights you can have your lamps 16 inches plus off the water reducing any heat issues. Yes you can grow sps under T5's, however it may not look right under T5's. For example I have seen a Tyree Purple monster under T5's which looked pastel purple. The same colony moved to a MH tank, changed to the dark purple its supposed to be. I agree with Darkstar, thats what I had over my 180.
