I have 2x aquablue specials=day lamps right?
1x blue plus and 1x purple=dawn to dusk right?

The purple plus is more of a day bulb its quite bright.

I'm guessing you're trying to decide on the schedule for having the bulbs come on and off. Does your light have two timers with two bulbs on each one? If so, my recommendation is to have one timer with the blue+ and one of the aquablue specials come on first and go off last, and have the other timer run as the "full sun" with the remaining bulbs.

Yeah you should have listened, and read it right the 5 times I told you.... 2 blue+, 1 ab special, 1 purple +.... but of course its my fault :lol:

Yea well I'm over 50 and if memory serves me right, which it don't :) you were supposed to tell me 6 times so yea it is your fault, so now you get to order me another blue+ lol
How about I keep 1 of the stock atenics + 1 blue+ and 1 blue special and 1 purple?
