Was at the lfs today they are going out of business, they had a coralife 4x65watt light for 179 bucks. Didn't think that was a bad deal. Full price was 299. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about these lights? I was also at another lfs and they had a orbit 4x65 for around 240, I think. Didn't know which was a better system. I have a 55 fowlr. Have been wanting new lights for some time now, so if someone has any knowledge of either of these or both I would be thankful.

If you just have a FOWLR tank then I would get the cheaper one of the two as they are both good lights for FOWLR's IMO
I would have to buy the support legs for the coralife one, which even after that it would be a lot cheaper. Was wanting to get into some corals down the road. I have been able to find one review on the coralife and it said that the fan gets noisy after a month or so. Still trying to find some reviews on the orbit, and more on the coralife.
Depending on what corals you want you might want to look into getting some different lights. Here is a link that might help.
