If you do a search for them on this site, there are quite a few threads about them. I considered buying them before I got my current lights decided not to based on the reviews.

That sucks. I only didn't buy because my tank is deep and recommendations were that these lights were better for a more shallow tank.

it puts the spectrum out for shallow tanks but they are poorly built

You get what you pay for i suppose....

To light a 48inch tank with a orbit is what 200?

To do it with radions, 800$?

Seems like a huge gap but the end game is quality

My orbit marine fixture has been kicking now for almost 4 years running at 100% 24 hours a day :)

I have a Obit Marine that I bought almost two years ago, it is not the new Pro version. It is now on my 45 gallon JBJ. It works and works well, I don't know if it's strong enough for corals at the bottom of the tank but I'm just starting gout and my frags looked like they were dying so I moved them up and it seems to be working. I like it and I did pay over $300 for it brand new

The orbit worked for my needs fine for over a year. I upgraded for the reason my needs changed.

I totally agree i bought radion's too and love them now i also buy high end equipment I much rather pay now then later

There have been quite a few threads about them or where they've popped up in the conversation where I've actually participated and your posts are the first anyone has mentioned this. :confused:
