T5 Bulb Arrangement

[HiImSean]

I've never gone with just T5s before and my new build will be using a 24" ATI 8bulb fixture (and a single Reefbrite Blue strip). I ordered 6 Blue +, 2 Purple +, 1 Coral +, and a True Actinic to mess around with. How would you go about arranging the bulbs? I plan on running the Reefbrite on the front of the fixture and probably during the whole light cycle.

I can't remember off the top of my head of how many or the arrangement of bulbs that each ballast runs.

I don't run T5 bulbs, but I found this article that might be helpful in selecting the right combination.
