Default when changing bulbs

so when changing bulbs on t5 lighting in my case a 6bulb fixture is it best to change 3 or 2 first and wait a week and change the remainder of the bulbs? i dont want to mess up my corals as i have never changed the bulbs in my fixture before.

I would think if you're changing them in time, doing all at once shouldn't be a problem. If you bleached everything, you might have waited too long

Alternatively, if you can raise the fixture a bit, that would take care of bleaching issues (because we all wait longer than we should)
