How do I set the custom White Balance for my strobes. Do I just set the camera to 6500K and leave it:?

No custom balance should needed, flashes and studio strobes are daylight balanced.

The manual says to set it at 6500K. Do you think 5500K would be better?

It is easy enough to test just try a shot at each setting, and use the one you like the best.
If the manual for your strobes says they are 6500k that would be a good place to start. Most strobes I find are a bit on the cool(towards the blue) side color wise. EDIT: I found this page that trys to explain how using digital color balance indoors works http://www.webphotoschool.com/Lesson_Library/Free_Lessons/Using_Digital_White_Balance_Indoors/ |

Thank you PeterP. You've settled my nerves a bit. You're right, Just take a picture at both. I feel a little foolish.
