Does anyone own an Orbit Compact Fluorescent fixture?

If so, have you had any problems? Are you pleased with it?

I'm about to purchase the 30" for my 29g:

Thanks.

The Orbits are good units. Just remember (if it's a planted tank) to replace the actinic bulbs...they're basically useless for plants.

Thanks Mavvy.

I just ordered it and it should be here tomorrow.

I'll replace the bulbs in a few weeks, in the meantime I'll only have some "easy to grow" plants because I'm sick of looking at a bare tank.
