Lighting times/configuration

Hi everyone,

I have the ATI sunpower 6x 80w fixture. I have the 4 ATI bulb kit (ordered the 4 bulb sunpower but they were out of stock so upgraded me for free to the 6 bulb) and 2 Aquabeam 600 reef blue LED strips.

The ATI bulbs are 2 x aqua blue special, 1 x blue plus, 1 x purple plus. Before anyone tells me to get rid of the purple plus (I know it's coming!!) I'm keeping it for the first year!

My question is what to do with the hours of lighting. I want to have the LEDs come on, then two T5s and lastly the other two T5s. But how many hours for each set and which colour bulbs to put on when?

Many thanks!
