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?

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.
