6 lamp aquaticlife t5 unit

Can anyone tell what the problem might be? I just bought the light set up yesterday. When it is time for all the lights to be on it is great. When it is time for just the actinic lights to be on, only 2 of the blue lights stay on. But then when it is time for all lights to be on all 3 white, and all 3 blue work fine. Please help.

I think that one ballast controls 2 bulbs and the other ballast controls 4 bulbs so there is nothing wrong with it its the confiiguration that all mayor t5 lamps have
