MH and VHO color combination?

I posted this on another thread; but no one responded. So that's why I am posting it here.

I will be putting a 400 watt MH and 2 x 95 watt VHO's on my 65 gallon tank.

I was considering this lightbulb color combination:
400 watt MH XM 10,000K
2 x 95 watt (190 watts) VHO actinics

I am worried that there will not be enough flouresence from the corals with this combination.
What do you guys think?

Thats alot of light on a 65g. I assume you are planning on SPS. I use a 250wt 14k on my tank with 2x95 vho actinic since I like more blue. I think you will not see much affect from the vho with a 400wt 10k mh. I would think you may need a couple more actinics. jmo
