Advice? Tank Build! Current USA Orbit Marine LED

I had one of those lights on a 20 gal tall. Tank ran fine for 18 months then I went with bigger tank. I only have like one pic from that tank and this was towards the beginning of that tank. All softies and and lps. Never had any crazy growth but polyps always extended and I always thought it was an ok light for the price. This was awhile back too but I remember that light being fully controllable but I use one of the preset schedules. I know it ramped up and down for dusk to dawn but was at 100% for blues and whites for most of the day.

 

I have one on my 90 and it would barely register on the PAR meter. Also my Ramp Timer would not keep accurate time so I had to constantly reset it. I bought 2 LED drivers that I could control with my Apex and I use it just for Dusk, Dawn and Moonlighting, I have Kessils and T5s for main lighting....other than that after 5 years most of the leds still work in it.

 

I think you’ll be good with those lights.

 

You should consider joining the club. As a GIRS member you would be able to borrow the club par meter to take your own par measurements in your tank, among other member benefits.
