I have a 75 gal 48 x 18 x 20. I must upgrade my lighting. I have old lighting that I had with my tropicals. Finances is an issure. I am looking at a Current USA PowerCompact Satellite Fixture, Dual Daylight 6,700k/10,000k : 2 x 65 watt, Dual Actinic 420nm/460nm : 2 x 65 watt and 2 Lunar Light Moon White.
Does anyone have any experience with this fixture. Or maybe another suggestion.
Thanks

depends on the price, i got my coralife with the same amount of watts and 4 blue lunar lights for about 300$
but if you can get that light for less it should be good, and you are buying from a great brand so you shouldn't have a problem

I have the exact same light. I have had it for almost two years. It also has a fan to keep it cool, and a plastic cover to keep the water from splashing onto the bulbs. The two sets of light bulbs are corded seperately so that they can be managed with timers. The dawn to dusk effect. I have this on a 75 gallon too. Works great. Besides where did you find it for $210? Mine was more than that.

I have the smaller version of the same light (24", 130w total). It's very nice. Well made. You'll love it. Can't beat that price!
If they haven't been replaced in a while, consider replacing all the bulbs when you get it. It will run you $60-80, but it will be like a brand new light.

I had it for a short time (order 36" model but recieved that. didn't send it back too much hassle so I traded someone for a 36" fixture). The legs were kind of easy to break if not careful adjusting them but otherwise I liked the lights. didn't care for the look of the dual daylight bulb but loved the 420/460 actinic (I'm currently using a dual actinic curren tusa bulb in my fixture).
