I am using 6500K Ultrasun and 10,000K Aqueon combination on my 30 gal planted tank. I have a surplus of 10,000K tubes, do you think running 2x 10,000K tubes would be OK for plants?
 
Probably. Depends on the spectrum, but most likely will be fine. I use a mix of 6500k and 10,000k, only 10,000k, and only 6500k on my tanks.. no noticeable difference in any of them except the brightness of the tank.
 
Sounds good to me man. You may notice your red plants will be not as red or vibrant but that doesn't mean they're not okay.
