Before I did that id change out the 10k for a purple plus and one of the 12k for a blue plus that should fix the colors!

If you want coral colors to pop, go with an actinic bulb or a stunner strip. I have a six bulb t5. Front to back my bulbs are
Blue+
Blue+
Fiji purple
Coral+
Blue+
Blue+

The colors don't really pop, but the corals are somewhat colorful.

+1 on trying another bulb combo. I think you would be happy if you added a coral+ and a blue+ to your mix. The stunner strip would be a nice addition as well if your still looking for a bit more "pop". LEDs can really fluoresce corals better than anything else

I run a 6 bulb fixture
blue+
blue+
coral+
geissmen actinic+
coral+
blue+

Then I also have an all blue truelumen pro LED strip. Everything has a good color pop to it.

You definitely need more blue in your existing bulb combo. Everything probably appears really yellow and brown. You will be amazed at the difference by adding a blue+ or 2.
