Current Usa Out Orbit 10k/Actinic | It should work fine. Corals that require more lighting can be placed towards the top of the tank closer to lighting. The general rule of thumb is about 4-5 watts per gallon. You might be just under or, right where you need to be. | |

That fixture should work great. My only suggestion would be to try to find one with VHO or T5 actinics, but the halide poertion is great. The different actinic bulbs aren't necessary, but they are a better quality of actinic light.

On the 48 in orbit 2x150 2x130 compacts and a moon light I may be able to save you some noticable $$$ P/M me if you need . P/C work fine for actinic just depends on type of bulb used. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |
