Would these t5 work ??

So i have ben thinking of adding a couple T5s to aid with my LED's was thinking of adding 2 bulbs on each side, So i was wondering if these would work ??

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/ele/4539984026.html Was thinking of just swapping out the lights to 1 65k and 1 10k on each fixture. one fixture on each side.

you would need 10k lights

yeah thats what i said i would change the bulbs to 10k bulbs. or did you mean the fixture it self ???

do you know the model number of the fixture?

they look like good fixtures & it mentions that they are HO, which is a plus. the questions i would be asking myself, would be, what am i trying to achieve with my aquarium? & can this fixture help me achieve that? i.e. growth, coloration, coverage, a need for added lighting, spectrum range, etc. if you can answer that, i believe others can give you an honest opinion. plus i'm a big fan of T5, so i would tell you to go for it. lol! i would do a range of atinics, pure atinics, pink & a 12k or 15k. hope to have help. good luck & happy reefing!

Well my LEDS are working ok but i want a bit more growth, thats why i was thinking of adding 10k i hear 10k helps with growth. anything that would help growth a bit and still help me keep color.

Plus i would provably only have these come on for 4 hours in the middle of the day.
