Just got in my aquatic life t5 hybrid to go over my 90gallon. I am adding my ai primes to it. It have 4 bulbs and I purchased
2 blue plus
Coral plus
True actinic
Can you tell me which order from front to back ?
How many inches above the surface of the water should I hang it?
How long would you suggest running them?
I was going to get timers and didn’t know if I should run them the same amount or different?
Thanks

I may or may not have them correct but this is how I run mine and I like the look. I am using the 61” fixture 11” over a 125 with 3 Radion xr30’s.

Front to back:
Blue Plus
Coral Plus
Blue Plus
Actinic

I started mine out at 4 hours on during peak daylight and added 1 hour per month. I have noticed about a 125 par increase over the xr30’s only.
