Does anybody no anything about the orbit 24 hour lighting system?
It is the best system I could find locally. The box says it has two 65watt sunpaq dual actinic [420nm + 460nm] and two 65 watt sunpaq dual daylight [6,700k + 10,000k] and four lunar lights. The guy at the lfs showed me a display unit, it looked really bright but I am not sure if it is enough wattage but the guy assured me it is. It is made by a company named current, does any body know anything about them?
Could anyone please interpit the nm #s and the k#s please? I have a 55 gallon tank that is 48" in length. It has just finished cycling.
 
Very well built light and good company, but for that size tank I would go with more lighting. I just moved up from the 2x96w version for my 46 gal bowfront.
It was a great light to start out with, I could keep most moderate light corals, but want to start getting some sps requiring high lighting so built a canopy that uses the 2 96w pc's and 1 175w mh (with room to add another).
 
I had that unit w/fan on my 90 for about 5 months. It did great! Of course, I have no sps. I upgraded to t5's because I wanted some higher par corals.

most moderate lights corals such as? i don't really want sps so i was wondering would they be good enough for lps, zoos, polyps etc?
 
I use the orbit 192 watt on my 65 gallon. I have frogspawns, candycanes, red open brain, other lps, and zoos. All the corals are growing and happy.
 
I had the same light, and it was perfect for me, i had leathers, anemones, and green polyps. I have recently upgraded to they're metal halides and compact unit. I love their product, ........great quality.
