Last July I added one of these babies to my Red Sea Max. (Love it):
Current-USA Outer Orbit, 1x150Watt MH, 2x24W T5 HO 420, 2x24W T5 HO 460, 6 blue/6 white LED
A year has gone by so I am thinking it's time for new lamps? Any lamp upgrade suggestions?
Thanks!
Hey Reefmack,
Got my new light. Looks great!! How long do you keep your MH on for? I am afraid to shock my reef by jumping into some intense lighting. Am I correct in worrying about sunburning anything?

Cool. Good to know.
I just ordered the 1070 model (same as yours). I am looking forward to the new lighting. I just really like the look of a topless tank. I don't plan on a ton of fish so hopefully I will have some good luck also with jumpers.
I'll have some pictures up soon.
Reefmack, I really like the look of the lighting upgrade you did. Any issues with jumpers? Or do you have a screen of some sort?
I have been shopping on Marine Depot and I think I found the same lighting you have. But the description varies a bit from yours. Maybe Current has a newer model? I...
I have admired your take for some time! It looks really nice. I really like the look of the lighting upgrade you did. Any issues with jumpers? Or do you have a screen of some sort?
