Nevermind about overpaying then.. You got the big boy!! The price wasn't too bad then. Good luck with it, I deal with Currents for approx 4 years now, and they never dissapointed me.

Very funny you guys brought this up as I was just at work an saw a current satellite. setup in my bosses office on his reef tank. I am going to order one tonight. I was thinking

Dual Daylight 6,700k/10,000k
Dual Actinic 420nm/460nm
LunarLight & Moon
the price is 169.99 and total watts is 192 (saltycritter.com)

Im wondering if one 10,000K and one 460nm would suite my needs with a total watts of 92. I haven't even added fish but i know down the road im going to purchase corals. Should I just get this purchase over with lol

I love my satilite PC lights - - my tank is only 12 inches tall to your 22inches - -i think i would ask around about corals - -might need a higher powered light to get through 22 inches of water - -that light is an awsome set up and tou may be fine with it or just have to stick to certain types of corals - -or set them up higher in the tank - 169.00 is getting to the max, watch your shipping - -check ebay and google current satilite lighting systems - -might be cheaper to buy direct - - i paid 150.00 for mine at a crappy LFS because he had them sitting on the shelf for a long time - - -LMAO and the 150 was 50% off - -so be careful

groovy....i know im working with a deep tank but i was housing cichlids before the sw game, I will make sure my rock work takes it into consideration, I would have loved a longer shorter tank for free swimmers but ill make it work.
