I'm thinking of removing the 4 PC 65W actinics that are in my fixture and replcing them with 4 39W T5's to accent my Phoenix 14K's. Looking to see if anyone else runs this combo and what you are using. I'm leaning towards the K-Z Fiji bulbs but I've never seen them in person and wonder if they would have any effect once my halides kick on.
 
i am running 3x250 hqi 14k phoenix bulbs with my 4 x 54 w t5's. I am happy with the color combo. I love the phoenix bulbs. They stay true to there color. I do not run them all at one time though. I run the following sequence. 2 t5 on first then 1 mh. then 2 mh. ( these are now all on) then they start to turn off in this order. the 2 -t5 off, then 2 mh off, then the other 2 t-5 come on then the last mh off then the t-5 off. hope this is not too confusing. lol
 
Thanks FOW. My question though is more about what color/brand of T5's folks are using with the Phoenix 14k's and what are they happy with.
