Need help with T5 and Mh setup

[bk_market]

Im setting up my new 90g this coming month mainly sps and I want to go with HQI Mh and HO T5 supplement

 

here is my equipments so far

 

2x DE 250MH (I currently have 2x 10000K XM bulbs and also 2x phoenix 14000K bulbs)

 

Im looking into getting 4x54w HO T-5 (icecap660 ballast) retro kit

 

The question is this too much light for my 90g (716w)

 

If I go with 2x phoenix 14000K bulb ( i test the bulb - look blue already) then what kind of T-5 bulb should I get (I need to pick 4)

 

Same question for the case of if im running 2x 10000K XM bulbs (this only is white with hint of yellow)

 

Last question is that will I be able to get away with 2x54w instead of 4? if so what bulb choice?

 

Thanks,

 

Hung

2 t5 should be fine.

2 t5 should be fine.

 

if you're just running them as actinic supplementation, 2 will be just fine... however, if you want to toss a few 12K T5s, that wouldn't hurt either.

 

with 10K xm and actinic UVL t5, you get a really nice clean crisp white color. sounds good man!
