[nemo1991]

i am going to buy a 48" 4x65w satellite (sp?) lights with moon lights and a fan, its for my 55 gallon tank, demensions: 48" long, 13" wide, and 18" tall
are these lights good enough for anemones? and soft corals?
also is the price good at $150 (buying used)
thanks in advance for the help
this is the site with the lights
48 inch 4x65 Watt Current USA PowerCompact Dual Satellite Fixture (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Lighting > Fixtures > Power Compact > 48in Units )
some one else offered me the same ones for $15 dollars cheaper

What brand is it? Depending on brand type you can buy a setup with those specs cheaper brand new, but some brands are likely better than others.

As far as if that will work well I'll let someone else answer - I'm interested in the response because I'm currently building my first tank and that's the same type of setup I bought. It definitely will limit you somewhat, I'm just not sure how much, I have decided at this point that the next tank will be larger and will be either T5 or MH. But for a 55 I think PC will allow a pretty good variety of stuff.

Great light, great price.

Perfect for a 55 as long as you are just keeping soft corals. Keeping an anemone under them is going to be pretty iffy. Can try a BTA. I had one do very well when using similar light over my old 55.

Make sure to replace light bulbs as soon as you get. Don't want to take chance with used ones.

PM Tangster and he could help you out.

Get it!!!!

Why not try for a T5 fixture, would cost about same and you would definetly be able to have BTA, maybe even Clam!
