How deep is the sand bed?? T-5's are out of the question since the shortest ones are 24 inches I think and I think a 400 would be over kill but that is just my opinion oh and I know a lady that is running 3 250's on an 8 foot tank that is 30 inches deep with no problems but like I said that is JMO.
