You may have to lower your run time down 4 hours. The T5's will not give the "pop" that LEDs do, so to your eyes, the corals will look pale in comparison. You can do a quick test, and put your old lights up and take a look. You can also feed a little extra for a bit.
I run both LED and ATI T5 HOs. I run a pair of ATI Coral +, and 2 strips of 450nm blue, and one strip of 423/445/465/12k mix. Works very well.
