Satellite or Orbit lighting fixtures

[zoidberg]

Anyone using a Satellite or Orbit lighting fixture? I have heard good and bad comments. I am just curious what other people know about them.

I've heard that they are pretty good. I'm using the Coralife lunar aqualight and am very satisfied with that one as well. The only thing I don't like about the Coralife is that the fans only run when the daylights are on. I wish it would run for the actinics too.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will buy the satellite and see how it goes.
Thanks

Steve is that a strong enough light for most corals?

I've got the orbit 60". Seems to work very nice. I like the moon light effect. I just have LR & fish.

Ish - from what I've read on here you need like 5w per gallon. For some corals they only recommend MH lights.

I was going to buy a Satelite package, but found out I would have to change the light bulbs for my reef setup. So I bought my Orbit fixture 4x65watt that came with the correct bulbs and the legs.
