Current Marine Orbit LED Light Review

[vikinglord13]

Hello all,

If you need to find something to do during your coronavirus shelter-in-place I made this review video of the Current Marine Orbit LED light I purchased for my little piece of the ocean. I hope you enjoy!

Nice video!
I sure would like to see that jawbreaker under kessil blue though

 

[vikinglord13]

That would probably be incredible. I'm hoping it splits soon so I can get more of that yellow in my tank!

Can I ask how you have it setup? I bought these a few weeks back and still trying to get the lighting correct. I have 24” height and they sit right on top. I will assume the par is pretty good. I am running the lights at 70-80 max

I'm not sure what you're asking for, I showed in the video where it is on the tank. Off the top of my head it's at about 21" or so.

Sorry should have been more explicit. In regards to your light intensity

You show the PAR chart in your video, you do know that's with everything set at 100%.

Here the recommended setting per manufacturer

^ Your going to grow a LOT of algae with those settings.
I'm growing( and I mean growing) SPS(montis,stylo,birdsnest,anacropora,acropora) with 100% blue and 40% white and nothing else with my IC pro on a 13 inch deep tank.

Thanks for the review. I picked up a used one and am having a hard time with the manufacturer manual. Hope I can figure it out!

Takes about a week of Sundays to figure it out. Just remember anytime you touch that remote the LAST thing you ALWAYS do is hit the resume/enter botton.

Thanks!

Yep, I'm aware. I have softies all over the place. I've gradually increased the percentages so I didn't "sunburn" the corals since the old lights were so fricken old and just bad.

Thanks for the review. I bought one for my 55gal that I've been working on setting up.
