Looking to get some shimmer in the tank. Currently running 8x39W ATI T5's. A long bar type LED like reefbrite (XHO?) would be perfect aesthetically installation-wise, but not sure they would provide any shimmer.

Apex dimmability would be a bonus. Depending on intensity, may even consider running 6x39 + LED for the bulk and the additional 2x39 for a few peak hours. At minimum 6x39 & led's needs to provide some shimmer.

Miss the shimmer from my 2x250W HQI's...

Recommendations?
 
I had Current orbit LEDs, great shimmer, but NOT strong enough to grow the Acros. So I just purchased the ATI 8- bulb, no dimmer. My sps growth has increased noticeably within a month, and I'm adding the LEDs for the shimmer and the blues only. It's a great look
