They don't do much beside some additional blue color in my opinion

They add significant amounts of PAR in the blue spectrum. Just like the blue channel of any LED fixture. They are a great addition to a T5 fixture to add the pop and additional par in that spectrum.

Jason Fox from Jason Fox signature corals is a big fan of reefbrites.
This video is decent as well. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...6BFB24E277F52553F8506BFB24E277F52&FORM=VRDGAR

I do want more color pop and possibility of having a dusk/dawn affect. If there is another benefit in addition to whats listed i would feel better about purchasing two 60" fixtures. I'M also considering the ATI hybrid but the Reefbites seem to be a less expensive way to get the same functionality on my current 6 bulb ATI.
The Reefbrite XHO is just to bright even with the two channel controller since it only goes to like 5% when connected to the 0-10v on my Apex, so you can't get moonlights from them. I just picked up a 2Channel controller for my XHO off of Ebay from BRS for about 1/2 price. Like the control-ability to ramp up and down to get a somewhat Dawn/Dusk effect. But my Ecotech Radion's are my Moonlights.

I just bought and hooked up 2x XHO Reef Brites to my ATI Sunpower 6x 80 watt. I have a full blown sps tank up for 6-7 years now and I needed something new to peak my interest. These are so unbelievably amazing! The color they give to the tank is incredible. I didn’t know my acros were capable of the fluorescence they are showing.
I bought the reef brite dimmer switches for $17 each at Marine Depot. To tone them down so the tank can acclimate to them. Not sure if I need an acclimation but better safe then sorry. I am at 50% for a week thank 75% then 100%. Overall, so happy and pumped. The color is awesome and I have my old metal halide shimmer back!!!

Can you provide more information and a pic of the tank with the lights on? I also have a 6 x 80 ATI with 2 Blue Tech only I the front of the tank and trying to decide if I get the XHO.
The bulbs I have from front to back is B+, TA, B+, C+, P+, B+.
Thanks in advance...
