T5 HO Bulb Order/Lighting Cycle Question

Hey guys. So my new ATI T5 HO 24w bulbs just came in for my 30 gallon. Here is what I purchased:

(1) ATI Coral Plus

(2) ATI Blue Plus

(1) ATI Actinic



My question is does it matter what order I place the bulbs (ie. front to back)? I was thinking going from front to back: Blue Plus, Blue Plus, Coral Plus, Actinic. Are there certain combos/orders that would produce the best results/color?



And my other question is what would you guys suggest be the best lighting cycle with my new bulb setup. I don't want to completely shock or cause any stress to my corals by replacing my bulbs and changing the lighting cycle, so any and all help is much appreciated.



This was my previous light cycle that seemed to do amazing with my corals:

-(1) 420/460 + (1) Purple for 2 hrs before;

-(1) 420/460 + (1) 700+ 10000K for 8 hrs;

-Then the (1) 420/460 + (1) Purple stayed on an additional 2 hrs after.

-Summary: 12 total hours of lighting





Thanks for all the helps guys!
