Just bought an Orphek OR3 bar to add on to my Atlantik. I'm thinking i should lower the intensity on the Atlantik when I first start using the OR3 bar and slowly bring it back up but I have no idea how much/which channel to lower. Anyone have experience with this?
 
OR3 are non adjustable/non dimmable. You can raise the height to lower the PAR
 
I believe he is asking about lowering the Atlantik intensity to compensate for the increased par from the OR3. Does anyone have concrete par numbers for the OR3?
 
yes i meant lowering the intensity of the Atlantik....bump
 
Why don't you try to put a mesh on your tank top that way you can lower the par comming to tank... Suggesting this because u can't really adjust the par and intensity on that model.
