So I ordered a new light

I ordered a 4 bulb t5 that is a combo with a MH light. The metal halide bulb that comes with the fixture is a 22k, so my question is, what bulbs should I put in the t5? It's going to have 4 10k actinic bulbs included, but I'm sure they aren't ATI.

What brand halide bulb is it? Some 20ks have a different color and provide more par so that will help us figure out what t5s would be best.
