48" ATI Dimmable Sunpower

[triguy]

Upgrading from a 90g to 150g and I decided to go with a t5 fixture. The t5/LED hybrids were too expensive, so I'm leaning towards the Dimmable sunpower fixture.

I haven't really found any reviews on this fixture, so I was hoping some members here have some experience with it. Is it worth the extra money to get the dimmable over the regular sunpower? My tank is 5'x2'x2' and is sps dominant. I will have 3 islands so about 3+" off of the glass. Should I get the 6 or 8 bulb?

Thanks,

I found a few threads, but not enough for my taste : )

A couple people have posted about their dimmable Sunpowers and they like them. Oliver from ATI has confirmed to me that dimming T5s won't hurt their life. I have no reason to not believe him but many other lighting experts have said other wise.

I would go with the 8 bulb in whatever fixture you decide. You could honestly get away with a 4 foot fixture instead to save some money.
