You will likely get very slow growth under that bulb selection with most corals. 10-14k is usually the preferred spectrum of light for coral growth, while the Actinics and Reef Blues are more for color and dawn/dusk before and after the Daytime lights.

I use a Gmann Actinic+ and Pure Actinic, 1hr before and 2 hours after, my 14K Metal Halides... as well as all day with the MH for added color in the tank.
