How did you get that pricing?

I believe BRS has them at $1100 each.

We have a Christmas special on them right now for 899.00 each including shipping. You also get a free Orphek Lens Kit for your smartphone.

Added two types of anthius and chromis to the tank. Had been feeding heavily 2 to 3 times a day to get some reading of nitrates!

Installed a trident yesterday! So much piece of mind.

10 month update! Everything doing great! Trident was a worth it. Ended up adding 6 or 90 and 2 or 120 bars to the system for better coverage.

Thanks for sharing. I have 4 V4's over my 8ft tank as well. I like the lights just haven't seen the growth yet. To be fair I haven't been as consistent in my husbandry as I should be. Are you getting good growth and colors? Would you mind sharing your water parameters? Thanks and Happy reefing.

I have been getting good growth after I added a bunch of or bars to supplement the orpheks. The combination is giving me good growth.
here is some growth pics of home wrecker:

Looks spectacular!

Are you still running the Atlantiks at the same settings you posted before?

Also, which OR bars did you go with and how long are you running them?

Looks like you decreased CH2 and CH3 to 90% and everything else is the same, is that right?

Which OR bars did you go with, how long do you run them?

Yes 90 pct on those two channels. Others stay the same. I am using OR3 blue bars. 8 OR 60 bars, 1 OR 120 bar and 1 OR 90 bar
