I'm setting up my 75g soon and I have a 4x40wt shop light fixture that I'm gonna hang over top, The bulbs in it now are 6500K is that too low for what live rock would need. Do I need to change them to 10,000K.

No the live rock will be fine under the 6500K but the tank will look rather yellow.

I'm gonna put a acrylic cover under the bulbs. I just don't want to spend 50$ on new bulbs and then upgrade the lighting a month later.
