    With a T5 light fixture with only 2 54w bulbs I think you will be limited to softies and LPS. You may do ok with Montiporas (Monti Caps) for SPS. Your next option in my opinion would be to build a canopy and install a T5 retrofit setup with 5 bulbs (5x 54w). Or hang 2 250w or 2 150w MH pendants over the tank.

    It all depends what you want to keep. Increasing the flow in the display will please SPS and keeping it as is will be great for softies. You seem to already have decent flow but it all depends on how that flow is being distributed and if it is all in the display.
