lighting a 210g

I have a 110g that is 72x18x18 with 3 x 80w tek t-5.
I am upgrading to a 210g that is 84x23x25. I need to know what lighting I would need to keep my bubble coral, anemones, and mushrooms thriving.
I really want to stay with t-5's (heat, canopy size!)
Suggestions?

If your tank is 23" I would go with 250w MH... If you run fans over the top of the tank or in your canopy you should not have heat problems...
I run three 400w Mh on my 210 but it is only 72"...
Hope that helps
