I went with constant current as those drivers are set to the recommended output for the LEDs. So my output is not overdriven. Didn't want to mess with dimmers as it gets complicated and didn't want burn out this very expensive build. Lol. It also can mean a longer lifespan for the LEDs. If I...

Tank is 84x24x24. Most people said I would need 132 LEDs, but budget only allowed for 98. So far so good and the colors are great. Gonna have to try some SPS and clams. I'll start with the inexpensive ones first. So far so good.

My led fixtures are DIY. I've seen the manufactured ones around and they are no where near as intense as the ones I put together. I've seen some pretty convincing evidence from these types of builds. Most are strictly SPS too. Take a look on you tube for reef led lights.
