Coralife vs Satellite?

[oonycxwilloo]

simple question...

which one would you prefer for my 29 gallon reef tank...

30 inch 2x65 Watt Current USA PowerCompact Dual Satellite Fixture

or.....

Coralife 30 Inch Aqualight With 2-65W 50/50 Lamps Straight Pin Base (with fans)

or.....

Coralife 30 Inch lunar Aqualight With 2-65W

PS: if you have any of these for sale please post or PM me

I have a 36" Corallife PC. I like it but it really depends what you plan to have in your tank. Right now, I use it as a back up.

If they have a 30" Orbit you should go for that. Best you can buy in PC hoods IMO...very solid, quiet, nice looking, etc..

Neither!! Skip the PC lighting and go to T-5's..

The Obit is made by current as well it's better quality then satallite. So if that is an opton I would go for the Orbit

Depending on what you want to keep you might want to think about other options. T5 and/or Metal halide lighting are the best options for SPS corals, while PC is great for most soft and LPS corals. If you go with PC lihting I have used and still use a Coralife lunar aqualight and I love it.
