Current USA Orbit Marine Aquarium LED Light

I use orbit and like them. Keesils are one of the best, but you pay for it

 

[nick burger]

Is there any chance you could link me to one

You guys are Awesome thank you I definitely do not want the cheap way out I just wasn't wanting to spend $700

 

[florida joe]

$700 go for orbit marine pro X 2 and have money for corals

I have a current USA. I don't like it too much white .. can't get the blue right. Control is terrible. I have 2 other leds on the tank I just bought the current for the center above the glass center support .
It was cheap 18 inch think it was 120 or 140? It does light the center where the other 2 had a shade spot. I wouldn't use it for a main light system

 

[florida joe]

are you running the Pro.

 

[deejeff0442]

No the cheaper one. Same controller looks like.
Just needed a little light for the dim spot

 

[florida joe]

im running the pro and like it

How much ($$$) for that bad boy? It sure looks pretty

Waiting for it to be delivered didn't get the Pro but got the Current USA Orbit Marine Aquarium LED Light. Reviews were good. Want to remove the canopy and suspend from the ceiling..

Some reviews on the Orbit Marine say it's not so good for SPS & LPS. What's your thoughts? I'm looking towards that model for a possible upgrade.

Yes the pro is the way to go if you are headed towards corals me I just want fish and inverts. I currently have a DIY light bar and this light will be a big improvement. Just started back into this hobby 4 months ago still learning and upgrading

it lists for around $500. I actually got it at cost from a LFS that deals strictly with saltwater and is a member of my club so I would suggest you shop around for a better price then list.
one-fish IMO just use the brackets they supply and place it on your tank rather then going through the trouble of hanging it form the ceiling

 

[one-fish]

I saw the bracket just wasn't sure how it worked if it was adjustable or not. Should be here soon...Thx

 

[florida joe]

its adjustable and works well

 

[JH919]

Just pulled the trigger on the Orbit PRO 48"-60" ($330 new on eBay). Can't wait to get it.

 

[florida joe]

Good choice IMO
