Nothing wrong with T8 -
Don't know what you are chasing but your coral selection currently has their lighting needs sorted.

Have you considered a blue led strip just to enhance a little bit of colour pop?

This tank was gifted to me so it was always just a trial and error tank to get my feet grounded into Saltwater tanks.. i have started the process of setting up a 4x2x2. stand is getting built as we speak.

when you say about the blue LED strip, could you give examples (links to lights) i could look at? im a Newbie so happy for any ideas
