ATI recommends 2-3 blue lights for one Purple Plus. Based on this, considering the number of lamps and their pairing, I would set the lighting as follows:
On:
1) Blue Plus + Actinic
2) (Blue Plus + Actinic) + (Blue Plus + Purple Plus)
3) (Blue Plus + Actinic) + (Blue Plus + Purple Plus) + 2 Aqua Blue
Off in reverse order.

And the layout? How to turn it on? With rulers from front to back or from the center to the edges?

I suggest drawing a diagram of the light fixture (top view), numbering the lamp positions (starting from the front side of the aquarium). Then anyone can place the required lamp in the right spot.
As I understand, the light fixture is in the project. Is the pairing activation random?

The light fixture is made,
I will be doing the wiring for the electronic ballast today, that's why I'm asking. The schematic of the fixture is simple - a rectangle with six lamps along its entire length. Electronic ballast 2x80 - 3 pieces. Pairing can be done in any way for now. From the front side, the lamps are arranged as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
As I understand it, the blue ones should be placed in the front, and the others in the back.

With these lamps, I would start with the following combination:
1. Blue Plus
2. Aqua Blue
3. Purple Plus
4. Blue Plus
5. Aqua Blue
6. Actinic
On:
(1+6)
(1+6)+(3+4)
(1+6)+(3+4)+(2+5)
Off in reverse order.

I also thought that from the center to the edges (or vice versa) is a better method than by rows.

Maybe what I have now will help you.
Power settings:
(CD+ Actinic)
(CD+ Actinic)+(Purple Plus+Blue Plus)
(CD+ Actinic)+(Purple Plus+Blue Plus)+ MH
Turn off in reverse order.
By the way, well done. You really nailed that unit!!!!!!

Still need to finish assembling. I just finished gluing the body yesterday.
