You will definitely be happy with your purchase. Is there any reason why you want the dimmable vs. non dimmable. I run an 8 bulb non dimmable over my 120 and I love this light. I can grow anything any where in my tank. I guess maybe a more realistic sunrise/sunset wow be cool. Btw good bulb combo. I like the coral plus bulb over the purple plus. Maybe grab an extra bulb to try different combos. I know alot of people like 3 blue 3 coral. But 5 blue 1 coral plus or purple plus looks really good to in my opinion. Depends on the look you like.

4 blue+
2 coral+

I have the non-dimmable on my 36x24x18 and love it! I got rid of my LEDs to come back to the ATI fixture. I would run a coral + with purple + along wiht the 4 blue +

The reason i picked the dimmable is i have a AI vega and love the controllabiliy of it.

Nice purchase!! I have a 36x24x20 and an 8 bulb ATI fixture and love it.

with 5 blues and 1 purple, I would suggest just move around until you find what suits you best.

I would put purple in 3rd or 4th position.
