Thanks man. I am still. Full AF but I have few modifications. I don't follow it blindly. I modify it accordingly and based on tank need. I am very visual person. I want my corals to tell me what they want.

I should ask here -- How long did it take for you to get your Orphek LED bar?

Hey, I will say they were pretty fast for me. I ordered it on 14th July and they shipped it on 21st July. I received it within next 4-5 days. So it took me 2 weeks in total from ordering it till delivery.

Great to hear! Any follow up thoughts on your bar? what you do or don't like, if you wished you picked a different spectrum?

I am pretty much happy with these bars. I will possibly give them 9/10. As i told you earlier that I did not like them in original spectrum as that was too violet for my taste. So, these modified ones are bit on the bluer side although they are still pretty purplish blue. I will not say it changed my tank completely in one month but I will say that it has some positive impact on colours and growth. Also, these guys can penetrate the water column better compared to my hydras as I can see my acros which I keep at the bottom over tank surface started to grow faster. I actually dont like my tank to go blue heavy on spectrum side so I changed one of my ATI blue plus bulb to GIesemann 6500K bulb to give it a bit warmer look. It will also tell me what happens when you mix 6500K with UV/blue spectrum led.

Lol...with 55 likes in a thread at a single go yes you broke R2R all time record possibly.
The yellow one is our old Pikachu from TCK. I now have a serious competitor to that one, its called RD Nirvana.
