I am going from 3-250 hamilton halides to 8 reto tek lights in 60" because of the heat build up in my tank even with lots of fans. The lights are in a hood with the top open but with the fans i go through about 20 plus gal a week. The tank is 68x24x24 and even though i have a chiller i dont want it to run all the time. I live in Canada and there is only 1 dealer in 60" bulbs and all he sells is giesemann. I am getting 2 midday, 3 aquablue, 2 true actinics, 1 actinics plus. Can you suggest a order from front to back and what lights should start in the morning than afternoon than the evening along with run times. Should the 1and3 lights be on one ballast and 2 and 6 be on another? I am verry new to the t5 game and going through your site comments i cant find this answer. The bulb choice is by my supplier because i like my 14000k hamiltons, what so you think. Only giesemann rember.
