Which Color Reebrite to supplement ATI Sunpower
Hey Guys, I just bought an ATI Sunpower 4 Bulb T5 fixture. I would like to add a Reefbrite XHO strip to it for ramp up/down and to possible get some shimmer?
What color Reebrite should I go with? I see the Blue Actinic seems to be the most popular, but I read that the 50/50 is better for shimmer? Thoughts?

Yes, the 50/50 will be stronger, so you are more apt to see some shimmer from it.
It won't be much. The T5 are such a strong yet soft light. But it should be there. But before I read you were looking for the shimmer, I would have suggested the actinic strip for that crazy dusk/dawn color pop.

yeah, I've read that the T5 will overpower even the 50/50 and there will be very minimal shimmer anyway. I think I am better off to go with the actinic strip because its main purpose will be the dusk/dawn feature.
