Product ReviewsCurrent USA 24-36" Orbit Marine LED Fixture

The Best Reef Lighting for the Price.

THIS IS THE DROID YOURE LOOKING FOR!
Buy 1 for softies in a 20L
Buy 2 for SPS in a 20L
2 of them over a 29g will create lovely mixed zone effects.
(I bought a coralife aqualight-s to compare, this one is far better, but using both opens the door to interesting customization)
Current USA is an impressive brand, it turns out...
The spectrum is amazing... goodbye T5s... and good Riddance.
There are things i need done.. and you just couldn't do them for me...
Things like sunsets... moonlights... and... weather...
The weather patterns are as hypnotic as they are natural-seeming: some help anemones get used to brighter light for less feedings.
Other things i like:
Preset timing, moonlight, manual mode, custom 2-channel timers allow independent controll of blue and white sunrise and sunsets.
The moonlights are automaic: set by choosing number of hours 1-6.
Staggering 2 units creates 2-hour long, multi-spectrum sunrise that will take your breath away and have you rearranging rocks just to see the light shine down on them...
Its like halides for a tiny tank, only better.
Dont bother with the Coralife unit unless youre adding it to one of these (like i did, and im very happy)
Negatives:
4 colors of light, 2 channels to control them... so the blue is the blue and the white is the white... the only spectral variations you can access beyond that is with the cloud-cover effects.
Dont think youll be able to turn down the 445 vs the 460 or the 12k vs the 8k... they both ramp on the same channel, respectively.
During the cloud and moon effects, however, you do see them change independently of one another... so the fixture CAN do this, it just wont let you... a bit dissapointing... but a good excuse to run the weather effects...
Afterall... 8k is what plants crave!
