So I'm upgrading from my jbj rimless to a full size 65 tank that'll have a canopy over it. I'm currently interested in running the 6 bulb, 36in ati dimmable fixture, but I also want the shimmer to show under all of those bulbs as well. I was wondering if two kessil 160 tuna blues on placed on each side of the tank )kinda like a spotlight) will do the trick.?? Any experience with other lights will be greatly appreciated as well.

I'm literally almost doing what you're talking about. I found only 1 kessil so far for a SUPER killer deal. I plan on adding 1 to each side of my 6 bulb ati dimmable. It's an amazing combo and the shimmer is awesome, especially still being on as my T5 dim down.

Nice set up.! I seen this sort of combo on YouTube one day. The guys tank looked phenomenal. Can you still see your shimmer pretty well or does the T5 drown most of it out? And what's your growth like??

Also what are you light settings at as far as intensity, color, and bulb combo.
