    Basically im ordering my lights tonight and want to know what lights will serve me better. I can get the current extreme nove 4x54 for about 215 shipped or the orbit pc 4x65 shipped for 208. Does any one use these setups and like or dislike them.

    my set up now is

    55 gallon
    coral life super skimmer
    fluval 305 canister just being used as a power head
    mj 1200
    another power head that rotates...cant remember the name
    and a 7watt light fixture heh...hence the upgrade
    58 lbs of figi lr
    around 40 lbs of live sand

    last night i checked and ammonia was down to 0 yay
    but nitrites were still high

    cant wait to add stuff

    any reccomendations on any more stuff I need to support some soft corals and shrooms and stuff

    any help is appreciated

    I just got the nova estreme and I really like it. I had pc's before and they don't compare to the t5ho's. I would go with the t5ho instead of the pc's. Pc's are old lights that you will eventually upgrade.
