Default Can I use marine bulbs in a freshwater setup?

Howdy all,

I've got a moderately planted 75G tank lightly stocked with about 20
tetras and 20 small shrimp. I have been lighting it with the 40W strip
light and a couple of smaller aquarium lights for about 6 months. I was
able to get from a friend a 220W Compact Flourescent light that had
been setup for sal****er. The bulbs are nearly new 1/2 10K and 1/2 blue
and there is a set of spare new bulbs. Given that I'm on a budget and
that these bulbs will be eventually replaced with appropriate
bulbs--will a freshwater tank be able to thrive with these bulbs? I
love the extra light myself even if it is a little too blue. Just
asking after the health of the plants.

Wm
