Current orbit usa

I have a 75 gallon 48 in long tank. Thinking about buying the current orbit led. Right now i have frogspawn, zoas, green finger leather and duncan coral. Anyone using this led light? Will this light support the corals i currently have?

I have that light. It's ramping is really nice. As for your question about sustaining coral, I'm only using it to supplement my t5 lights on my 265 gallon at this point. Stupid me initially thought it would be enough for my tank. My zoa's and mushrooms did OK even in that situation. The anemone? Not so much.

However, I used to have a 50 gallon with those corals you have that did just fine with Current True Lumen lights, and I swear the Orbit looks brighter when I compare them on my tank I have now.

This may be of no help at all, but just in case no one chimes in you have something

I have the Current Orbit Pro and it does a good job on a 65. Make sure you get the Pro not the standard model because that won't be enough to get growth.

Oh, something else that maybe just I notice, but most light's sunrise/sunset are just a variation of blues. This light almost gives a purple, pink, orangish during the sunset and sunrise that I really think is pretty.

Would it be a downgrade from the t5s that im using now?

 

[germs101]

I can't answer that since I don't know your tank specs or what kind of t5s you have. However, the best ANY of the tanks I've had over the years did as far as coral growth was with my t5s. I have switched almost everything to LEDs for cost of replacement bulbs, heat, and electricity though. Reading all of these forums tells me it's a very individual preference.

I had the Orbit Marine Pro and I loved the ramping ability, but it wasn't strong enough for the corals and depth I had. They survived, but next to zero growth. It also looked a bit too yellow when both channels were running at 100% for my taste.
