What’s your Orphek Atlantik V4

[sawdonkey]

......program.

I’m curious about which program people are running. Post a screenshot of your program.

All of the stock programs come on too early for me because I like to enjoy my tank in the evening up until about midnight.

I just rebuilt my tank so I’m suffering some algae issues right now. Once I’m through this, I’ll crank up channels 1&4 (the green-ish white and the red-ish white).

 

[Wrasse-cal]

I'm curious too. I run "Coral Color+Growth"

Hey, @Orphek would you give some guidance as to the logic/rationale behind the different provided programs?

 

[sawdonkey]

I changes my settings now that my dinos are gone. Ramped everything up a bit. For those not familiar:

Green = blue channel
Blue = UV / violet
White = White/red
Red = white/green

Hey @Orphek, it would make a lot of sense to color the graph lines to match the spectrum. It would also make a lot of sense to name the channels after the spectrum. For example, name channel 2 “blue” and channel four “red.”

Loving these lights by the way!

I also just run the coral growth plus color program with moonights a bit longer in the morning and evening. I also run strong clouds for the majority of the day.

You can easily take their stock program, adjust each time forward 4 hours and save it under a custom name if you want to try their programs. Here's mine. I went off BRS recommendation for settings at max.

this program 12H a day for sps and also need to turen on the strong clouds from 12:00 to 18:00 CH3 or Ch4 can begin at 08:00 and end at 22:00 for extra pop

 

[HolisticBear]

I run Coral Growth, but not at 100% since I have a mixed reef.

this program 12H a day for sps and also need to turen on the strong clouds from 12:00 to 18:00 CH3 or Ch4 can begin at 08:00 and end at 22:00 for extra pop

This program is mimic of sun light?

Can you speak more about this schedule? Unfortunately I don't read german.

EDIT: Also how the heck do you set the first time point to anything but 00:00. I'm trying on the app and it won't let me.

Hi HolisticBear , please try to add the strong cloud mode , actually i recommend this to every one .
first in the nature there is clouds and the Par drop very much when clouds pass,
5 years ago we shoed what happen when cloud pass you can see this here how the Par drop from 2000 to 450 in the summer.

corals need to exchange oxygen when there is high Par , so we create the could mode.
this will drop the intensity every 15 minuets for 5 minuets . this is very important for corals in order to grow fast and get better color.
we test this method at fastbooke group in Japan when all the members use the same program and strong cloud mode.

this is the results of one of our clients from japan

Hi Mshu, this program not made special for orphek Atlantik but published by German research about what program corals needs.
at the nature we have about 10:00 to 12:00 H daylight and 12:00 to 14:00 dark.

HI Xiaoxiy, i also not read German client but we got this from one of the german client. the idea is very simple mimic the sun .

we wrote about 7 years ago and published this Graph

CORRECT SPECTRUM AND AMOUNT IS NEEDED FOR GOOD CORAL GROWTH
for the post click here: https://orphek.com/correct-spectrum-for-good-coral-growth/

because LED light is not strong as Sun , the sun we can give extra 2H and total of 12H and to get some nice color we give only blue and violet 2H more but in very low intensity.

we never give light at night !!!
we wort about this before.
"Corals, like terrestrial plants need a photoperiod break or rest to carry out the biological processes that are required for good healthy growth. Keeping your moonlights on throughout the night can have a negative reaction to your corals by not allowing them the rest they need. Real moonlight produces no more than 0.2 and a high of 1 Lux in tropical latitudes."



now : "Also how the heck do you set the first time point to anything but 00:00. I'm trying on the app and it won't let me "

First point must be 00:00 it is 24:00 and can not be change , this is the beginning of new day .
and the last point should be max umber 23:59

so if for example you want to run light all the night

you can set

first point 00:00 10% ( this is 24:00 )
then second point 04:00 10%

so from 24:00 to 04:00 you will have 50% ( this is just example and we not recommend)

00:00 10% 24:00 10%
04:00 10%
05:00 0% light turn Off at 05:00
09:00 1% light turn on again at 09:00
12:00 100% rump up from 09:00 to 12:00 100%
14:00 0% light is close
20:00 10% then the light will turn on 10% till next day 00:00 10% = 24:00H


so 00:00 = 24:00 and that why this number can not be change !

Would you by any chance have a link to that paper or pdf file so one could copy/paste into a translator?

I will look for it and will post it here

Hi Xiaoxiy, in the program there is 7 point in the screen shot it show just the last 5 point the first point can not change it is 00:00 24:00 the beginning of the day.

here is all 4 Channels

ch 2 begin at 09:00 1% and end at 21:00 0%

Ch1 begin also at 09:00 1% and end at 21:00 0%

Ch3 begin at 08:00 1% and end at 22:00 0%

ch 4 begin at 09:00 1% and end at 21:00 0%

Thank you

Thanks for posting that translation!

I only see a total of 7 time points, 6 of which are adjustable, in my Orphek app, which makes the schedule you posted impossible. How do I add an additional time point into the app?

Yes only 7 point And can not need extra point
I send you Two screen shot
Because it can not get all point in one screen shot .

In this example you can see ch 1 work from 20:00
TIll 04:00 at 10%
Then go down and shout off at 05:00

Then on again at 09:00 rump up till 100% 1200
And shut off at 14:00

And then next day again begin at 20:00 10%
Here is the two screen shot
Follow the red line in the graph
00:00 to 05:00
Then 09:00 to 14:00

Then 20:00 to 24:00 new day

The first 00:00 is 24:00 new day
