T5 fixture size.

Will a 24 inch 6 bulb fixture be enough for a 36 Gallon bowfront which is 30 inches long? I really dont want the 36 inch fixture spilling all that light into the room.

Yes that'll be about perfect. Maybe even a little much.

Got the dimmable one so I can have a nice mixed tank and crank it up later when the upper colonies start to shadow the rest :)

The answer is in your question.

Yep, just have to place your corals accordingly. All the high par stuff closer to the middle and higher up in the tank.
