Cain, my wife has the 24" version and i am a big fan of Current lighting products. They run strong and my wifes tank grows LPS corals like nobodies businness! Fans keep it cool and we do not have any overheating issues. I also have Current PC's surrounding my MH and love them. Overall I like Current products much more then Coralife, built better. JMO.

You might save your money a little longer and get the current USA Outer orbits that has the PC and the MH all in one fixture

I have the 48" 4x65 Orbit with 4 lunar lights and 1 fan. It is a nice light but the fan is a little loud. The fan is louder than my Aqua C Remora skimmer.

yea i thought about that... i do have the money now to go with them, but the tank is new.. i cant get into corals for at least a year! i want it to be established b4 i try them... so the mh's can come into play then, lol
i was going to order the coralife deluxe lunar setup, same watts, but they are out of them and on back order for a month, so I am thinkin of the orbit..
