<br type="_moz">yes It does have a dimmer, two controls- one controls the blue and one controls the other four colors

That will be important once you get corals. You'll need to adjust them by trial and error until you hit the sweet spot for your tank.

I have two of those lights over my 120 gal. (48x24x24) softie/lps tank. I keep whites at 50% and blues at 70%. you can grow anything. I would suggest a skimmer although many people run skimmerless tanks. I started as a fowlr and then started with cheap leathers, gsp, zoa's, and mushrooms. I do not dose. stay away from the expensive coral until you get the hang of caring for coral. let your tank mature before you try a nem. it's not as hard as some might think.
