Can we assume you have other lighting on the tank?
If the actinics are on there just for your viewing pleasure - then yes, not an issue.

What type of corals do you keep and what is your other lighting?

Most corals can take several days of darkness with no problem, so losing your actinics for a few days shouldn't hurt. You may notice that they're either more or less extended than usual, though.

It is to my understanding that if you are running 20K lighting you do not need actinics
