I have a new aqualife 6x54 watt 48 in unit.
It came with 4 blue atinics 1 fiji purple and 1 10,000 wht.
I have purchase 2 Geis.Blue plus and I am thinking of adding 1 more 10,000 Wht for growth.
I am putting this over a 60 gallon Frag tank 48 in long x 24 wide by 12 ht.
The way my lights buttons are when you hit the blue lights only 2 blues are on and then when you hit the button for the wht lights the other 4 come on.I want to change the ratio then set timers?
I was thinking of setting it up were the 2 were 10,000 wht and then the
other 4 make 1 fiji purple 2 blue plus and 1 Actinic ( I'll change later to Blue plus but this is a new unit and I just pd 500 for unit and 75 more for 3 bulbs to swap)
That way when I run the blues in the am before the whites kick on it will be more Acinic and then the whites will come on with the blues and then the whites kick off and the blues aty on for another 2 hr. and go off to moon light Leds?

Does this sound right or am I just backwards.

Thanks
 
Two blues on the outer edges is plenty to get the day started and finished.
 
So should I switch the 2 that come on to the Blue+ and then
The other 4 make 2 wht 1 fiji purple and 1 Act. blue?

Front to back assuming the two outers are one ballast. Middle 4 are the other

Blue+
Fiji purple
Wht
Wht
Actinic
Blue+
 
I checked and the light are set up like this


Front Aqualife
A 1st #
B 2nd * **
C 3rd #
D 4th * **
E 5th #
F 6th #

B and D are together as Blue button
A ,C, E,F are together on Wht.

So Now I have them se up
A Blue
B Blue
C Fiji Purple
D Blue
E White
F Blue

But I wanted to swap in the Blue + and Add 1 more Wht 10,000 to help growth
Sorry to be so confusing
Thank you for your help
