Maybe you should try to seed it with rubble or LR from the sump. I have 3 400w MH pendants and i have alot of coraline algea in the display with no problem.

Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

I wanted to go T5 for a while but stuck with the MH really just so that I wouldnt spend anymore money on the tank. Im to the point where I simply want to try and enjoy it without any further expense. I would love to see the tank covered in purple algae though and its not growing under my 250 MH. I have tried the seeding method. Maybe now that its growing more in the sump it will lead to it growing in the tank.

I read where Anthony Calfo said that the different types of calcium play a part in it also. He said that Kalk was the best type for coraline growth. Give it a try for a month or so Ray, and let us know how it turns out.
