Aquarium lighting technology is constantly evolving, we have more choices than ever before. Share what types you have been using, how you like them, and what you might change or do differently next time.

I have the 36 Watt Current Dual satellite.

I like it, it's a great light. I am considering upgrading to a larger tank, however and if I do I will also upgrade to MH or T5HO lights.

I have 40w PC over my 5.5g tank, and it's actually working very well for that tank. Of course the tank is almost all softies, with the exception of one Acan frag. It's been set up about 4 months and all corals in it are doing very well.

I just switched to T5HO lighting for my 20L tank. So far I am EXTREMELY happy with it and like it better than the 150w MH w/Phoenix 14k bulb that I used to have. I have a really good bulb combo that gives me great color and I don't have the heat issues, which were really a problem with the MH.
I haven't had the light over the tank long enough to report on how corals do under it long-term, but it's looking pretty good so far.

love my icecap retro!

I got a Sunpod 150watt MH HQI with 12 moon lights (6 blue, 6 white) and could not be happier. I upgraded from a 2x65watt 50/50 PC Coralife. This is on a 20 gallon high mixed reef tank.

I'm very happy with this set up!

I didn't vote because my fixture has both MH and T5HO bulbs.

Same here , I have a MH comboed with some power compacts.

Thanks for making the survey! I use T5s but i havnt ventured into the world of MH

I have a 250watt mh on my BC29, im still building everything and working on getting everything wired up as far as the fans, moon lights and actinic dawn/dusk light, check out my build thread for pics on the housing and reflector i built for it...

Hi, Im looking into Lighting Design software packages. I teach Lighting in a University Drama department. I would be interested in knowing what packages are people using and how they get on with them.
Thanks in advance. Dave

I don't think many of us here have pockets deep enough to play with lighting design software.

Who pays for software anymore?
