If your unit has separate light switches, keep the actinics on one swtich so you can do the dawn/dusk effect. You should then keep most of the white bulbs on the other switch with say one blue bulb to balance. Or something like this. I don't know what the last one (ATI Pro Color) looks like so hard to say.

You might find that your bulb selection there leaves your tank a little less blue than you had hoped. I was personally frustrated when I saw how white the blue plus bulbs are.

With what you have, I agree with Greg's order though.

I would have chosen different bulbs and arranged them like this:

Giesemann Pure Actinic
Giesemann Blue+
UVL Aqua Sun 10K
UVL Aqua Sun 10K
Giesemann Blue+
Giesemann Pure Actinic

This makes NICE color...quite blue, PLUS really good PAR.

Otherwise, I agree with Greg.

im thinking that the actinic would be best at the front (where a lot of corals usually are) or would it be better at the back?
