Current USA Satellite Powercompact Lights
Pairing together a 10,000k Daylight and 460nm Actinic with Current’s Lunar Light™ creates an energy-efficient, 24-hour lighting system that's packed with value. Configured with state-of-the-art, SunPaq Lamps, it produces 3-times the light output of standard fluorescents with double the life (12 months). Uses Japanese style square pin bulbs.

Are they OK for a Discus Tank- the 48" is two 65w bulbs and is $99.00.

THANKS!
Karen

Karen,

I have those lighting. IMO discus don't require that much light.

You can get a regular standard flourscent light running 25 watts and still be ok.

The power compact your looking at is 135 watts. Why spend the money on the additional electricity.

Thanks for the response HenryD!
I have a 90 gallon with the hood and lighting it came with. I feel I could use more lighting.
Should I just buy a better bulb for some added light?
Any suggestions on make and type?
Thanks,
Karen
