Nice, they look great! I have a Black Ice Snowflake (I think? ). It can sometimes get confusing with all the different kinds. I am pretty sure though. Clowns are the best! It is fun the variety you see in them these days.

T5's will put out nearly the same heat as halides will. It's just spread over the length of the 4 lamps, and not in one small area. Both will need replacing every 9 months or so as well, which can be pricey.
The possibility of making the tank water temp fluctuate is the concern.
