I just recieved my new t5 setup today i upgraded from two bulbs to four. And when i opened the box it was setup with two 10000k in the front and two actinic in the back. Should i move them around to put one 10k then one actinic then one 10k then one actinic? I didnt know how to word it sorry.

Depending on the bulbs.... You would be happy replacing them to ATI bulbs. I running 3 blue+, and one aquablue special.... Gives me about a 14k look. Alot of ppl will toss in a purple plus...

I configured them like this:

Front:
Blue
blue
white
blue

I have a good link about t5s and configurations, I will see if I get on the computer later to post them...

So basically i dont need to have a 10k at all? I was thinking of doing one purple.

Yes, the 10k will be your daylight bulb..... I am using the aqua blue as my daylight, it's more of a 15k for a little bluer look....
