Hi everyone,

Anyone have suggestions on the Orphek OR3's? I currently have a 45 gallon frag tank, looking at setting up another and really want something to make the corals pop. Any pictures of the blue plus or blue sky would be great.

Thanks
 
 
I run one blue plus on my 120 and just bought a blue sky to add.
They supplement my halides.

I am thinking of setting up a 40 breeder with 2 blue sky and 2 day OR3's.

On my 45 frag/lagoon system I run a 250 watt hamilton 14k.
I like this bulb better than my de 250's on my 120.

The 40 breeder will be all OR3 lit.
I want to compare growth with an all OR3 lit tank. The bars are one of the best led's made vs cost.

I am not a fan of the all blue lit tanks but enjoy the look before and after the halides are on.

This is my frag/lagoon system. 36x24x12.

Start a build thread when you get it up and running.
Any pics of your current system?

Question/suggestions on heater controlers. I run 2 300 watt heaters amd get concerned when I see other post in which they've had heater issues damage or fry their tank. I've see the inkbird controllers but also seen the product reviews online and those seem to be mixed. Any suggestions on controllers that work well, or specific models for inkbird that are good?
