XM 10k

[BluegrassReef]

Hey guys....I am in the process of setting up a new 75g that will eventually be dominated by SPS.......I want to use XM 10k for the halides as I have read they are par monsters......I will also be adding 4 24" t5's to the mix in a floating canopy...Here is my questions.

1.What is the best ballast to run the XM 10k bulbs on?

2. what mix of t5's should I go with?....I want to end up with a nice 20k look but not overly blue.

Also if anyone is running XM 10k's I would love to see a pic...also what are you running for supplemental lighting.

I am not sure on the ballast for the XM's as I am a T5 guy.

I would go with Aquablue plus for bulbs by ATI, they are what everybody is running now a days.
