Running two different Kelvin metal halides?

I currently have two 175k XM bulbs and a blue actinic led strip running on my tank. I'm not happy with the color because the greens don't pop very good. I was thinking of just changing out one MH bulb with a 15k to get more blue color. I figured two 15k bulbs would be two blue. Does anyone else here run two different kelvin MH bulbs on their system at the sametime?
