I'd like to add some shimmer to a 75gal lit by all T5s. My T5 fixture takes up most of the available space in the canopy so I only have a couple inches in front for a thin fixture. I would love to go with the UV but I'm guessing the Daylight would give the best chance of a shimmer effect. Any Orphek LED bar users out there?
 
You should get some shimmer yup. Surface agitation will greatly help with this also. I tried an Orphek UV bar for fun but was not pleased. It was crazy black light purple, I guess to be expected, and ended up with the reefbrite back on pretty quick.
