Which Reefbrite Led fixture should I add to my t5ho lit 75 gallon?

[ambergris caye]

I am looking to add shimmer, color pop, and some par.
My tank is a 75 gallon with sps colonies towards the back and sps frags and lps towards to front. The coral towards the front is more at the bottom of the tank. I have decided the reefbrite xho fixture might be a good choice, mounted to the front on the fixture or mounted to the front of the tank. My t5 bulbs are:
5- ati blue plus
1- ati aquablue special
1- ati purple plus
1- ge 6500k
(48" fixture with 54 watt bulbs)

Should I order the 50/50 fixture or the all actinic? Will I be able to see the shimmer even with all of the t5 bulbs on?
Should I order the dimmer?

The shimmer will be MINIMAL. I would just go for a Royal Blue reefbrite for the coral POP. I have the new ATI LED Powermodule and had my own customised LED/T5 hybrid before that. With so much T5's throwing out diffused light there is not going to be the amount of shimmer you could get with a pure LED unit etc or a MH unit.

I've seen buildmyled fixtures in person on a t5 tank and they put out a lot of light.. Never seen the reefbrites in person but I'd say all blue also since your growth will be mainly from the t5..

If you haven't checked out the buildmyled might be worth considering I think they look a lot better also if that matters.. Plus you can customize it exactly how you want it color wise and ask the company to give you what your looking for with your particular combo. Jmo =). An email to them will probably help you decide on your reefbrites also without them knowing of course lol.

Perhaps I could turn off half or all of the t5 bulbs if I want to get the shimmer.

I was not aware of buildmyled. Interesting.

They are a sponsor here and the fixtures are really nice and about the same price as the xho's..

Turning off the t5's is a great option just for viewing.. Plus you can have it be on your sunrise/set schedule so it's first on and last off.
