I just purchased with the advice of Grim a 4x54W reefgeek Icecap retro. I have two ballast so I would like to know which bulbs to go on first and second and what times to run them.

ATI Blue Plus
UVL Super Actinic
GE 6500k Daylight
ATI Blue Plus

put you 2 ati blue+ bulbs on one ballast and run them for around 11hrs.
put the super actinic and 6500k on the other ballast and run them for 9hrs.
I'm not a fan of the GE6500k bulb in a 4 bulb set up. Its to hard to wash out the yellow color it puts off. I would look into an Aquasun bulb, it helps bring out the reds and pinks and still has great par.
