I have a 46g bow front tank planning on some mushrooms and soft corals...maybe some LPS down the road......will this lighting be affective for proper growth and health? any advice would be appreciated

 

There are far better options in that price range.Heres two.I am sure others will chime in.

Second that ^^^.

 

would 1 reef breeder cover a 46 gallon bow front?

 

Yes. Vinny had one over his 90g and it was plenty for his soft and LPS corals.

 

I have one on my 55 Gallon 48 incher. I like the light a lot - the features are very nice...the built in timer is great...the colours are nice....the pre-set timing is great - but I also have 7 x 48 inch LED reefbars....I wouldn't use this light on its own for an entire tank - its not bright enough in my opinion - using it with the other LED supplements though seems to be working well.

 

For the record what I have is here:

I bought 8 - two of the 4 bar combos, but only 7 fit on top when I add the Orbit

 

It was actually a taotronic which is very similar but it only had 2 color led white and blue.I ran for over a year with one over my 90 and it was plenty of light for most anything with proper placement.
I did get some slight shadows(4foot tank) on the edge but that actually helped hide my ph's and they didn't get covered in algae so fast.lol I liked the look very much.
One should be plenty for that tank.

 

I have a Nuvo Micro-30 tank, but I'm afraid my lighting isn't sufficient even for my soft corals. I have a Current USA Orbit Marine LED Light, with the pre-programmed lighting cycles, as well as a remote control for "effects" and changing the cycles or creating new ones. In speaking with someone at a local aquatics shop, it seemed there were two choices: 1) add another light identical to the one I already have (does that really double the intensity?), or 2) buy a $600 kit that I will only be able to run at 10% capacity on my current tank. My tank has been up and running for 4 months, and some of my corals seem to be very happy, but a couple of the polyps are not growing and a blue is pale in color most of the time. We're doing extensive water testing and I have ordered a protein skimmer, just to make sure water conditions are perfect. I also feed micro-plankton with every bi-weekly water change, and feed my fish Mysis shrimp, with an occasional feeding of Rod's Food. But anyhow... back to the light. Any recommendations as to what I should do to get more light in my tank? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

 

You may want to check out the LED reefbars I mentioned and posted a link to - you can by anywhere from 1-8 depending on your needs....they also come with a remote....
