Yes. Most people will throw in some pc actinic lighting for aesthetic reasons. Additionally, mh aren't kept on all day so people use other lighting for this reason as well. If you are just going mh. Get a 14k or higher bulb to get more blue spectrum for viewing/aesthetic reasons... Possibly retrofit some led lights for when the mh light is off so you can still view the tank.

I run 2x250 MH on a 72 bowfront. The lighting looks amazing with no help of acticnics.
