Lighting options for bowfront

So, today is "light issues" day. When we hung the lights (a 4 250w halide fixture that came with our tank) last night, we realized that things are going to heat up quickly in our tank (and that ballasts are LOUD and HEAVY monsters!). We're considering heat issues, but also light. We were blessed with four 20,000 k bulbs... but, being new to halides, we're now trying to understand if we need a T-5 array for blue lights before and after halides have done their thing. :why:

 

If this is true... what spectrums would compliment what we have?
