I have two 400 watts metal halide 20k reeflux bulb and I have enough parts to run 2 80watt t5 bulbs. What color combo should I run with 20k halide.

Depends on what color your going for. Imo only 2 t5's isn't going to change color that much. ESP if you put purple bulbs in. I was running 4 blue 1 coral+ 1 purple+ and it looked like my 250w 20ks. Added 2 fiji purples and it looks exactly the same kind of a let down. 400watters if it was me i'd go with 2 blue+ or a blue + and coral + just buy both there only 20$ and see what you like best or have better results with. The coral+ is a white bulb that has punch blue+ is blue but still packs a punch but smaller.
 
Same experienced here with the Fiji Purple, added one T5 bulb and could not tell the difference.
