OK Mike,
Here's the deal...The corals will grow more because the new bulbs have higher PAR(being new) than the old ones. The color of the lamps being 14k plus 2 VHO 03's on there give your more fluorescence of the zooxanthellea algae. If you change to 6500k lights the colors will look different because of the affect of the light.
If you add a daylight bulb to the VHO you will balance the blue look a little more. This blue look with the 14K's is why I prefer the harder to find 12K's.
Otherwise, enjoy! The tank will grow, grow, grow now! Keep an eye on calcium levels under the new lamps...you may experience more uptake.
