I've bleached out 2 encrusting monti frags that had come from a tank with a 400w MH. That was with three 24w overdriven bulbs.

I can assure you that T5s can and do regularly bleach corals. Take a look at literally hundreds of threads on various reef club forums, RC, etc., that talk about this. I bleached everything of mine when I upgraded from 6-110w VHOs to 6 T5s with good reflectors. For whatever reason, people have more bleaching issues with T5s than halides to begin with.BigPumper wrote:
Maybe, but who's really to say it was your lighting. I highly doubt t5's bleached the montis.
