new T5 lighting set up configuration??

[prow]

hey everyone, getting ready to install my new T5 lighting system. the lighting is 6X80watt bulbs 60" long retrofit. they will goi in my 72" canopy. i will putting them in the following order, starting from back to front:
-aquablue
-blueplus
-aquablue
-ge 6500k daylight
-blueplus
-aquablue
my question is should i stagger them to fill the 6" gaps at either side or just align in the mid leaving a 6" gap at both ends? will be installing them today any input ASAP will be very helpful thanks.

If you wanted to be creative, you could try it with an aquablue and a blueplus at the ends, then the third aquablue and the daylight centered.

I dont think there would be anything wrong with having them all centered. I would just want to make sure the colors were the same on both ends of the tank.

I'd stager to have two @ each end & the last two in the middle trying to get complete coverage! JMO

One thing good about the bulbs is you can rearrange them as desired.

I would center them. Less growth really close to the ends of the tank then.
