Actually thinking of switching to the Dual Orbit from Current. It has 4x96w bulbs. 2 daylight. 2 actinic. Its a step up from what i had. Which was the dual satellite. Only 2x96w bulbs.

Just cut back on the halide use. I do. I have 440 watts of VHO, and 500 watts of MH lighiting, I only use the halides for 4 to 6 hours per day, I have no need to run them longer. You should check out my monitpora cap thread its an sps coral that is doing super, just ask Wax

There have even been days that I have not even run my halides do to work, I don't have them on timers as I prefer to control what they do and how long they are on. It makes me look at the tank at certain times of the day knowing I have to go and flip the switches on it.

All i have on the tank is the metal halides. I cant fit both fixtures on top. I wish i could. I just feel like its too intense or maybe its just the 14k bulbs. Maybe i shouldve went with a 10k 150w MH and actinic combo.

Dunno what to do. :thinking: You can see color in the tank if your up close looking in. But from a few feet away you cant really tell.
