Current Orbit 48" LED

BuffaloNY75 · 03/07/2015, 10:26 PM

I just am getting back into my saltwater aquarium hobby after a three year break from it… I have set up my 75 gallon aquarium with about fifty pounds of cured liverock. I am trying to set this up as a reef and a fish tank combination tank. I am running a 2 bulb t5 set up on it as of right now but i am looking into upgrading my lighting or just adding another piece to it. I would love to do a radion set up but they are a bit out of my price range. I have seen the Current Orbit LED online and am trying to find out what people think of the product. I also am trying to find out if I ran my two bulb t5 along with the LED set up if that would be sufficient to keep most coral in my tank or if i would still need additional lighting? I have also heard of the Ecoxotic E series light and would love to know how the orbit light stacks up against that product…Please, any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have two of them on my 75g and keep every type of coral. I don't even run them at 100%. They have like 196 leds I think? lower powered leds but this light is way more powerful than non owners think. I run one for 6 hours and one for 8 with a delay so they are actually on about 11 hours but not both at the same time(for 11 hrs I mean) cuz it's too much. Before I did that my cabbage coral curled up and I killed two frags. Every night I switch the lights so the other half of the tank gets the other light, one is at 60% and one at 80%. Helped with algae on glass also
