Question 1

I know this isn't for Corals, but would my RBTA be happy under this?

Accepted Answer

Well been running this light for a year and to be honest I wish I never bought it. It really puts out no par and I had to add extra lights around it to get my coral to actually grow. I paid 150 for the set with Bluetooth and I'm about to replace it with a 70 dollar black box with three times the par and actual full spectrum where the orbit is missing out on several wavelengths that are important for coral growth. To me it feels like freshwater company trying to make a reef light and it is just a major fail.

Question 2

will the light penetrate to the bottom of a 24" tall aquarium?

Accepted Answer

LED are great specifically for deep tanks like that. Shouldnt be a problem getting to the bottom of a 24" tank although I would have to say this fixture may be a little underpowered if your trying to grow any corals on the sandbed. If that isnt the case you should be golden though. LED light usually doesnt start to diminish at all in PAR until 18" of water depth due to its higher focused nature as compared to T5 or hallide which depends on the quality of reflector used to get the light into the tank. This better focus also is what usually will make people say that LED looks very dim in comparison.. which is merely and optical illusion caused by the lack of light escaping the tank thru reflection and refraction, instead being focused more directly down.. in the direction you want it to go.

Question 3

Do some of the actinic lights look blue and some look purple?

Accepted Answer

No. On the current orbit LEDs they are all actnic blue. There are no purple nor violet LEDs on this fixture. There are high noon 6500 k and 12000 k whites on it though. I had very good results with this light be ran along t5 bulbs. I do not recommend running these lights by them selves on a larger tank
