It wouldn't be crazy to mix, but I don't think you would like it. Depending on the bulbs there would be a lot of differences --- which to me would look natural.
Does it have any supplemental lighting?
The Phoenix are good bulbs, I have run them in the past over my 75, and am running one over my 33 right now.

What MH bulbs do you have now (( if any ))
About a mouth ago I had a new fixture for my 75 --- Current outer orbit, 2*250 MH + 4*54 T5 --- The MH are 10K bulbs and the T5s are 2 "blue" and 2 "purple" Anyways, when I ordered it I order two Phoenix bulbs because I planned on switching out the 10Ks. Well, I got lazy and haven't gotten around to it, and now the 10K have grown on me, I not sure if I am going to do the switch. And over my 58 I have 2 Radium 20K bulbs, so I am normally a blue bulb person.

Well Todd...thats part of my problem. I got the fixture used and it came with 3 working bulbs but was told they will need replacing soon. I have not had an oportunity to go see any halide set ups and see the difference between 10k 14k 20k.I dont even have any water in this tank yet! So I am kind of shooting in the dark (so to speak). I'm a T5 guy making the halide jump.
I think I would prefer a "blueish" look though...but not to the point it doesnt look natural. I dont know for sure but I dont think these 4x39 T5's are going to add much supplementation. I hope I am wrong.
Thanks for the help everyone!!!!
