Hey all, we are looking at purchasing a used light fixture from a fellow reef club member. He's told us that the fixture is a Current Outer Orbit, 2x 250W MH and 4x 39W T5. It seems to be a good deal for $350, but we are wondering if it will be too much light for our tank. The tank is 50 gallons, dimensions are 36"x18"x18". We'd like to be able to keep pretty much anything as far as corals, clams, etc. but want to make sure that the tank doesn't just become an algae factory. We have an RO unit and TDS meter so source water is not an issue as far as introducing extra nutrients into the system. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
