So with t5 bulbs if I bought a 4 bulb fixture I want to run daylight and blue? Plus the blue LEDs?

You could run 4 t5ho or 2 t5ho and a led fixture like this...

You have to take into perspective of bulb replacement I am not sure how much the t5 are to replace but if they're $25 a pop then in less than 2 years the led would've paid itself off... led t5 combo you can't go wrong, shimmer and spread!
