I know there's the drawback of power consumption and heat.
Will the 4 x 54w T5s be enough to balance out the shaded areas from the MH lights and allow me to place corals just about anywhere?
Also, any further advice on my questions regarding mogul vs HQI, reflectors etc. from above?

With good reflectors, the 4 bulb should be able to cover the shaded areas nicely.
