The kelvin temp does not affect anything. As long as they are T5HO ballast's you can run anything from a 3500k to a 20,000k on the same ballast. You wont have a problem using this fixture other that the salt creep mentioned above.

I am currently using this fixture retro fitted in my canopy with 2 KZ actinics, 2 New Gen, and 2 fiji purple.

I also went to Quick grow on edmonton Tr the other day and picked up 24" T5HO's for $30/ea they come with a 6500k grow lamp but I threw in a new gen a fiji purple for my 15g.
