Orbit marine ic led

[Austin R]

Hey guys I've been looking at lights and I like the ic led and was curious if anyone has it and if you could tell me if you like it and even what you don't like also I would some pictures like to see the kind of coloration you can get out of corals and fish with the light thanks!

I got the Orbit ic pro with the LOOP and I totally regretted it. The colors look somewhat nice but not enough blues. They don't grow any SPS (birdnest, cyphastrea) and kills many corals due to lack of light. All my corals got brown real quick even with the optimal lights. I'm upgrading from 30g to 54g and is waiting for Radion 5th generation to come out like next year. Get Radions, kessil, or Aqua illumination.

I have them, but as Shrimp par 0306 said, they don't grow SPS, but do an OK job with softies. Unfortunately, don't waste your money, invest in ATI Sunpower, I just did, 8- bulb T-5's, plug in and go, worth every penny

Thanks guys I was just wondering about the light any recommendations I was looking for led lights that can give good color and would be ok with most corals and help would be great!

Depends on size tank. I put one on my Fluval Evo 13 for my office tank. Its a shallow tank. I wanted to keep the tank simple and modern. I have an AI Prime on my biocube and prefer the prime. IMO not for SPS. Only for softies and LPS. If for large tank. Skip the IC and go with something that can penetrate the water.

I have a 29 gallon its 30 x 12 x 18 I wasn't sure if one kessil would be enough and does it matter which kessil because I see there's a couple and I was going to get the blue one

Get the Radion xr30 G4 or wait for the G5 but Kessil will also work so much better than the IC
