Anyone using Current USA outer orbit lighting?
Im planning on ordering a 36inch 2x150 watt MH/T5 combo. The T5s are 4x37watt, also comes with 18 LEDs. What do you think of this lighting and comments please. Thanks. Im adding it to a 72 gallon bowfront tank. Its made my Current USA Outer Orbit.

I recently bought a new model 1077. This is a 48" unit with 2x250-watt MH and 4x54-watt T5 bulbs. The only way it ships from the manufacturer is with 2x10,000K MH and 4xActinic T5 bulbs. I didn't want to keep the the MH bulbs on all day and the tank was too blue with only 4 actinic T5s in the morning and late afternoon I ended up swapping out most of the bulbs.
I ended up with 2x14,000K MH, 2xT5 mid-day, and 2xT5 actinic bulbs. Since reconfiguring the bulbs I am happy with the unit although I still might change the last two actinic bulbs. |

Do your think i will be able to run my 2x150watt MH for 8hours? Cause I was planing on running the T5s for 12 hours, obviously representing dusk and dawn. Will this work?
