I'm looking to put a better light on my 40 gallon. Right now I have just a small 96 watt T5 on it. I was looking at either a 156 watt T5 that would give me 3.9 watts per gallon or a 328 watt metal halide that would give me 8.2 watts per gallon. It'd be nice to be able to eventually put anything I want in there so I am leaning toward the MH and I'm pretty sure 8.2 is a good number to have for lighting just about any kind of coral you want. Correct? Also, looking for any kind of recommendations anyone has, T5 or MH.
