Softies tank... so higher wattage not really necessary.

Really, either of the unit shown in your poll will work. I've used coralife PC units in the past and was pretty satisfied with them.

nobody else has an opinion on this???

It's pretty much going to be the same thing as I stated. They are pretty much the same until and around the same output. It's more of a which brand do you want.

Id go with the orbit. It has much better bulbs dual actinic 420/460nm and dual daylight. Each bulb can be controlled seperatly for dawn/dusk effect. It also has a better fan and moon light. I use the orbit on my nano and love it.

I agree with everyone. Hell...I used two 15w NO lamps (one 10k and one actinic) for six months and everything did fine. However, I switched to a DIY 2x55watt fixture and have been very satisfied with growth.
