Current USA marine pro

MikeyAl · Apr 3, 2016

I have SPS - mushrooms, zoas, bubble, toadstool, 1 anemone. It's a 90g tank.

I was looking at marine pro- 48"-60" with 192 LEDs.
Would that be sufficient lighting?

Current Marine is a great product. I had the Orbit marine light and had good luck. It all depends on your budget

But will that provide sufficient light for my corals?

I ran the pro version over a 20 gallon tank. Had growth from all my corals ranging from zoas to LPS to monti caps. I think with correct placement you should have good luck with the light.

I have 48" Current Marine pro dual and have been very happy with it. My 120 has been up for 6 months now. I am considering getting the Apex par meter. I have a lot of good growth.

The second photo is December after about 2 months in the tank. I have since allowed the nutrients to creep up a bit.

I had the 48-60" marine pro on a 60" wide 120, I didn't care for it, but it looks like others have done good. Mine was an 18" deep tank though and I didn't get much growth low. I would recommend spending a little more and get something that will go deeper. Also, it didn't cover the full 60" well. Has cool features though and it looks like others have done well, maybe mine wasn't mounted well enough or something

It would be awesome if you'd consider downloading a $free [HASHTAG]#lux[/HASHTAG] [HASHTAG]#meter[/HASHTAG] app for your smartphone's camera to take some lux measurements! "Galactica luxmeter" is one for iphone that people seem to have good luck with, but there are lots of them...for android too. While the app is downloading I'd recommend that you order a $15 (delivered) handheld lux meter - the model "LX-1010B" is the basic one you'd want - as it's much better and safer to use around saltwater!

Water under the bridge, but I would definitely have suggested lighting the full width of the tank. Some folks like or don't mind the "mysterious" dark corners, but it seems like most people do mind.

What did you replace the Pro with, out of curiosity?

Spending more shouldn't be necessary in most cases....how did you have your Pro mounted? On the legs or suspended over the tank? (If suspended: How high?)
