Possibly, you have to make the choice based on the spectral output of the bulbs. Some deeper water animals require more blue spectrum, this is what penetrates to deeper water. Actinics are the easiest (flourecent) way to provide that blue light for things that require it.

So unfortunately the answer, it depends.
