New lights

I dont think i told you guys my day....

started off with my nova lights almost catching fire......

went to landcaster... got my self a outter orbit 2x150 with 4 t5's


brought it home... hooked it up..

didnt like it...

was to wide.. and was to much.. the t5's over hung the side of the tank...

so i went back. took that back and replaced with the


sunpod 2x150.

very very happy... looks great....


so now that i have 300 watts of light in a 30 gal

Re: New lights

no need.... i can simply pull it up and lower it down in like 5 seconds... right now im about 14" up....

when the lights turn off i drop it down so the leds look brighter...

IM vert very happy with this.

Re: New lights

My first "good light" was an outer orbit. I love that light.
