What t5ho bulbs?
I need to get 4 cheap 80w t5ho bulbs. They are for a 220g tank that will just have a couple XXL Mother Amazon Swords in it. I may just use 2 bulbs however I need to get 4. I am thinking about just going to Lowes and getting 2x 7500k and 2x 10k bulbs. What do you think? that will work yeah?

The tank is an amazon biotope

Again, 7500 and 5500 might be a better choice to bring out more color.
