Is this a good lighting system for a nano?...thanks

[Jahkaya]

yes

[Destro]

It will be good for most softies.

[kraphtymac]

How big of a nano are we talking here? It's okay if you never want to see any color in your corals (no actinic...)

I want to use it on a 10 AGA

[sdbeazley]

it will be fine and a cheap solution. i like looking at 6.5k lights but you could always chane out the bulbs.

Thanks for the help.....what type of corals would do best with this light system?

[Jahkaya]

LPS and sofites

 

I'd recommend at least 2x40 though.

[ghost shrimp]

How would I do 2x40 in this light?

[ghost shrimp]

whats the difference between 1x40 and 2x40?

[lilreefr]

Check out the orbit 2x40. I have had good success with mine. They have dual actinic and dual daylight bulbs, a lunar light and mine has a fan(although i dont think they build them like that anymore). The lighting is great. They do cost a little more ~$120, but a better setup imo.

[lilreefr]

The 20" sattelite has a Smart-Paq bulb which is a tube of 10000k and an actinic, so the colors would show pretty good.

so is the Satellite lighting system worth buying?....thanks
