Default Want to Change VHO Tube Type

On our 3' 67g zoo/LPS tank, we have a Hamilton hood that handles 4x95w VHOs. Currently, we are using 2 URI 10000k 95w tubes and two URI Super Actinic 95w tubes. There are two ballasts with two tubes on each ballast. One ballast, with the two actinics, is on a half hour before and after the second ballast, which has the two 10000k tubes, is on.

The zoos and some of the LPSs are brilliantly coloured under actinic only and I really, REALLY like these colours, but realize that some daylight-type light is needed. I'd like to remove one of the 10000k tubes and replace it with another actinic, giving us one 10000k daylight-type tube and three actinics. Would this change be a problem for the corals in growth rate or for any other reasons? In your learned opinions, should we go ahead with this change?
