Since you have 2 double strips, I think the IDEAL setup would be (if looking at the 2 strips as one set of 4 lamps, front to back):
6500K - 5000K - 10000K - 6500K
That would give you the most even dispersion of each type of bulb.

I don't use any ferts right now. My substrate is a mix of Eco Complete and Seachem Flourite black, so there's a certain amount of nutrients already in there (the Flourite is especially rich in Iron, which is one of the main reasons to dose ferts I've found). If I do dose, I use my own liquid ferts that I mix from dry components following the PPS Pro method.
