Light Downgrading Help!

I have a 300g tank that is 96"L X 30"D X 24"T. I'm getting rid of the corals and going to go to a FOWLR.... and any leftover GSP / shrooms / etc that I can't get out. I'm not terribly concerned about that though.

Currently I have 10 rows of T5's with individual reflectors (20 4' bulbs). I'm wondering what the best way to reduce / change the lighting is. Should I sell all of the lights and buy a coulple of 3-4' fixtures? Should I just keep X number of rows and sell the remainder? How many would that be. Suggestions here would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

you might as well just decrease the number of rows of lights.
