T5 bulb order

[Chlorinated]

Hi,

I have a 4 bulb AquaticLife T5 fixture. I am changing my bulb combination to 2 B+, Coral + and a Purple +. Does the order of bulbs in the fixture make that big of a difference color wise in the aquarium?

I was thinking front to back:
B+
C+
B+
P+

If I changed it so either C+ or P+ were in front back, or middle, would it have any significant difference in appearance?

I have never played around with it, but am curious to know from those of you that have.

Thanks!

That line up you proposed is what I would probably do with those bulbs, changing their positions will definitely change the look but something you will need to play with to find your preference.

Will having the C+ first five it more if a white appearance where B+ first will be more blue?

I'll definitely mess around a bit, but hang bothered in the past because bulbs get hot, do have to wait for next day to swap around...just never took the time honestly lol.
