 outer orbit Anybody use the outer orbit combo from Current USA? I am looking at two of them now, the 72" 3x 250w hqi with t5's, full spectrum, and 12/12 lunar lighting rated at 1080w, the other one is the same but uses 3 x 150w hqi and is rated at 762 w. Which one would work best for a 72 x 24 x 24 tank? I plan on hard and soft corals in the future.  |

| Do you want to have a lot of SPS corals or anemones? If you do, I'd go with the 250 watt |

| Thanks, that was the direction I was leaning in, just didn't want to spend the extra 200.00 if it wasn't needed. |

| Re: outer orbit For a 125 gallon tank, I'd recommend that you get the 250w system if your thinking about SPS corals. Softies and LPS corals would do fine, if not even better, under the 150w lighting, but the SPS corals wouldn't keep their color as nice. |
