Coralife T5 HO's. 8 for $94. Seems too good to be true

Found a site with Coralife HO's. Only 3 to choose from. 6500k, 10k, and actinic. Which to choose from..what configuration? Looking to do sps later, but for now just anemones, polyps, and some soft corals. Are Coralife good bulbs?

do the 10k and actinic. Probably 5 actinic and 3 10k's.

6500's will have more of a yellowish tinge to them, I think.

Price is good. They're not the best, but the price is good.
