I planning to keep mainly softies. How do you aclimate your corals to different light? Is it the same process as introducing them into a tank?

The description says it has two switches to control each colour, do other fixtures have a dimmer option for lights?

Also do most units come with dimmer capabilities? Or is it that you are supposed to be able to turn off certain lights for certain periods??

there are similar units that are dimmable on both circuits for about the same price if you look further... that is the route i would go. Then you can decide the color you want by adjusting the white/blue intensity and also turn unit down for acclimation in beginning .

Yes, as we discussed before, getting a dimmable (esp. separate cords) unit is far preferable to a non-dimmable.

these are a little more expensive but dimmable:

also, watch where they are located as you will probably have to pay shipping/duty/taxes/ect... on ones from china/japan
