Been shopping around for lighting for my 30 g Oceanic Cube. I have narrowed the field down to these here:

JBJ K-2 Viper 150W HQI Clamp on Lamp Lighting Fixture - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store

Current USA SunPod 20 inch, 1x150W 14000K PowerPaq HQI Lamp & Lunar Lights - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store

Coralife Aqualight Advanced Tank-Mount, 1- 150 W 14,000K HQI - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store

Please let me know what ya think.

Thanx.

I definitely would go with the Coralife Advanced unit. The SunPod would be just as good though. I think the Coralife has the best reflector over the SunPod, but if you really want the moonlights, go with the Sunpod. You should avoid the Viper units unless you plan on adding fans to blow across the top of your tank. The Viper is the only one here that does not come with any cooling unit, and its reflector isn't very big.

And both units are only $240 on DrsFosterSmith.com.

I like the sunpod mainly because of the built in moon lights.

Either the sunpod or the coralife would be my picks. Narrowing it down further I like the coralife unit for the reflector and the added built in moon lights. Also the coralife has multiple mounting possibilites which is nice.

I like the Coralife, I am thinking of selling my outer orbit unit and going with two or three of these on my 75G. I like the ability to position these how you want them. Also they come with 20,000k lights and cooling fans built in. One light on a 30 cube would be the ticket.

Methinks I made up my mind on choosing the Coralife Aqualight..I have more options on the placement, and there would not be as much heat buildup in the water. If I wanted the moonlighting, I can always add my own in the future.

Thanx for the comments.
