I have a 90 gallon. I have 2 250 hqi mh and 2 power compacts actinic. Looking to get led to replace actinics. Wanna split the light up like I have them now. Which size should I get. Thinking of getting the 9 bulb ones. Also should I get the driver dimmable or not. Please help. Thanks.

Go with the dimmable driver. If you go with an Inventronics or Thomas Research you can dim with a controller like an APEX or a simple potientiometer. The Meanwell 60-48D needs a voltage source and needs to be adjusted.

Also ensure the Royal Blue are the 450nm Bin. The 460-465 give less colour pop.
