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.
