Changing fixtures Help!

I am changing my lights from
(2) 2x39 GLO fixtures
(1) 2x39 Coralife fixture
ATI BULBS

Going to a
6x39 Current USA fixture and using the same ATI bulbs excluding the Aquablue Special I just broke.

I used to have the GLO fixtures in front with the Coralife in back with bulbs running.
FRONT
Aquablue
Blue+
Blue+
Aquablue
Blue+
Purple
BACK

The lights sat directly above the tank, except for the Coralife, which had legs. Wondering how I should do this now? What to look or watch for, should I run the lights less, more, help!

I have read to put the purple in the front half, So I will try that. It is also ran on 2 plugs, so I can have a dusk/dawn effect with these lights. Currently running what I had for 8 hours a day. Stick to the same or what?
