Coralife AquaLights?
Was wondering if anyone has an opinion about Coralife Aqualights? I'm looking at their 48" with moonlights. Good product?

I have the 72" with 4 96 watt PC... Nice but can't do a lot of corals unless they are close to the top and softys only.
But other then that, it is a good product.

I got an 80 gallon with a 4x65 Aqualight, no moons though
 My Kenya Tree, zoos and GSP have all be growing good, they are about 1/3 to 1/2 way up. My mushrooms are getting too much light so I am going to move them to the bottom. |

Coralife Aqualights Daylight, Actinic w/Lunar led moon glow
I am considering buying the 48" x 7" x 2.5" for my 75 gallon. It was a FO tank for over 5 years no copper. I have the LR since July 5th, 2004 and some corals (Devil's Hand, Green Striped Mushrooms, Cabbage Leather, Brown Button Polyps, and Zoannthidae FRAGS) w/2 odd looking damsels... (may get rid of them)
I already have a single with 2 Coralife bulbs 50/50 21" and one old 40w - 48" strip fluorescent lamp that came with the oceanic setup placed about 5" above the glass cover. The new fixture 48" with two 65 watt 10,000K Daylight and two 65 watt True Actinic 03 Blue Compact Fluorescent Lamps plus three 3/4 watt Lunar Blue-Moon-GLow LED 470nm Lamps. I plan to use the legs that come with the fixture. How often do you change these bulbs? |

I am running the 48'' aqualight (4 65w) with the moonlight. I've been running it for about 3 days and my inverts have all responded very positively. Also....most likely too soon to be sure but it seems my corraline growth has accelerated. The only negative thing I have to say about them is that the legs which are an option offered for them are very cheap.

I've had the coralife 260w for a little while now and am very happy with it. Kat check around for the newer models, they have 4 moonlights with them.

Purchased the Orbit 4/65w with moonlights
I decided to go with the Orbit fixture. I made my decision after seeing two TOTM for August 2003 and August 2004. The 2004 tank http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-08/totm/index.htm used this light setup Lighting:
2 x 40 watt normal output actinic lamps (14 hours) 2 x 65 watt actinic power compact florescent lamps (12 hours) 2 x 65 watt 10,000 Kelvin power compact florescent lamps (10 hours) 5 x blue LEDs for moonlights The TOTM 2003 uses this set up LIGHTING/PHOTOPERIOD 2 x 65 watt actinic power compact florescent lamps (8 AM TO 8 PM) 2 x 65 watt 10,000 Kelvin power compact florescent lamps (9AM TO 7 PM) If I could just do a quarter of this growth I would be thrilled. |

Oh well, Hopefully I'll get to meet him eventually. All of the other local reefers that I have met have said that he is a super nice guy too. 'Course, so are pretty much all of the others too, lol.

Meeting Mucho
His tank and methods have made my day. So if by chance you meet him, please tell him that a retired librarian is indebted to him. I changed my FO tank just recently upon retirement to a reef. It seems like everyday ... I was looking for extra $$$ to support my new hobby... Those two tanks and the methods used have helped me realize I can do this and not spend all of the $$$$ I have left each month.
