I would upgrade your MH bulb to 10,000k or a 12,000k bulb.....

How big is a 65. MH light cover approx 24x24 area. If the tank is longer tha 30 long I would suggest getting a second MH. If your tank is less thank 24" deep the 175 shound do fine for what ever youwant to keep. For the color temp it is basically a preference. Do you like the look you have? The higher the temp the more blue the bulb or less yellow depending on how you look at it. As for the Flouesent if they are NO bulbs I would probably change them out to VHO or T-5's. Again that is a preference. If you are using them for dusk/dawn effect and for supplamenting the MH then you are probably OK as is.
