timothymarsh Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks a lot for that video! I think the Orbit is an awesome product but watching the storm modes in action made me realize that I probably won't use it that much. I think I'm going to go with the True Lumen Pro Dual kit when it comes back in stock at Marine Depot. It has a little bit more wattage and will allow me to quickly dim the lights manually if need be. Good luck with your build, we should keep these threads in contact so people can compare the different products. Can't wait to get my tank this Friday!! Link to comment
got2envy Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Put some LPS in the hizzy Blastos Tyree Blue Meanie Micromussa Rainbow brain Kryptonite trumpets...and a photo bomb. So ended up ramping the daylight LEDS to 50% and everything is doing great...at 100% it was bleaching my Zoas so I guess this fixture is good enough Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Those are awesome starter corals! The speckly blastos are so unique Link to comment

got2envy Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Some quick pix I took..The dragon soul favia and rainbow acans from Glenn at CGA. my little frags Thanks for looking! The tank is doing great and so far no issues with the light. I have the daylights turned down between 50% and 75% depending on how blue I want the tank. The zoas are recovering from the light bleaching Link to comment
xilez Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 How has evaporation with the light fixture been? How long are you running your light cycle? Link to comment
got2envy Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 I run it from 8:00 am till 6 PM Whites 75% and blues at 100% Dawn/dusk is 30 minutes before and after and moonlights are 4 hours. Evap is very low..maybe 1/4 gallon a day. I absolutely love the light for this specific tank. Oh and it looks very purple but it's not lol nice blue. Link to comment

gena Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I got it Marine Depot as well as the dry rock. They really did a great job shipping I just found it on there. Considering one of these for rock anemones...hmmmm . The only thing would be I'd have to buy a light fixture for it. But I sure do like the dimensions. Link to comment
