Halo_003 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Unfortunately my top choices (Nanobox Quad/Duo and the Radion G2/3) are out of my price range right now. I would like to get a decent LED fixture though, right now I have a POS Oddysea T5 (4 bulbs, 18") that technically is working, I just hate it. Tank is a 20L, plan to mainly do LPS and softies, might have some birdsnest and monti's though. Here's what I'm looking at: Current USA 24" Marine Orbit+ http://www.marinedepot.com/Current_USA_Orbit_Marine_LED_Aquarium_Light_20_Inch_LED_Light_Fixtures-Current_USA-CU04100-FILTFILDTN-vi.html Reefbreeders Value equivalent http://www.ebay.com/itm/231257844157 Ocean Revive http://www.ebay.com/itm/330964253513 I'm trying to stay with LED, and under $200-250 if I can. Any other suggestions that would cover this size? Link to comment
NanoReef_Man Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I am currently setting up a 20L tank. After spending a lot of time, I finally chose Current USA 24"-36". I have not started using it. The following are my suggestions for this light (a) It is really a very good light for shallow tanks. ( You do not need any stand or fixture to hang this light. Sits very snug on the tank. © Comes with a very handy controller (d) Gives you a wide range of intensity and spectrum adjustment Poeple whom I know are having very good results with this light.

Dark_ice Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The reef reedbreeders is alright as long as you get he higher optics to cover the full tank. I know someone who runs a store that uses these unit over his 20l and has great luck and growth Link to comment

Thanks, those are exactly the reasons I was looking at it. When you get it, can you see if it supports any SPS? Like I said I just was looking at Birdsnest and Monti's maybe. Or can you ask the people you know about that? The reef reedbreeders is alright as long as you get he higher optics to cover the full tank. I know someone who runs a store that uses these unit over his 20l and has great luck and growth That's also what I've heard, I was planning on the 120 degree optics so hopefully it would work well.
