Current USA Orbit Marine

Hi everyone,



I have a 40 gallon long tank and i am starting to get some soft corals (total newbie here). I am currently using an old dual zoomed T5 fixture that i believe needs to be upgraded soon.

I have been looking at the Current USA Orbit Marine 48-60" as it fits my budget (<$200) and has some nice features.

Now i know that some would favor upgrading to a T5 4 bulb fixture but the tank is narrow (48x13x16) so a fixture that wide will make it very inconvenient for maintenance and aeration of the tank as well.:rolleyes:



- I am planning to get mostly soft corals

Now the setup:

- the tank is only 16" deep and the rock work allows for placing corals on different heights

- The orbit light will only be like 2-3 inches above the water line



Can i get away with that light for growing some soft corals? i heard mixed opinions so a bit confused here.



Fixture Specs: 46 Watts (96 Dual Daylight/96 Dual Actinic LEDs, 192 LEDs Total)



Anyone had experiences with this fixture?



thanks
