That sounds not too bad. That gives me hope that the new model will be reasonably priced and not inflated due to being ‘new’Just got the email from Orphek. The upgrade kit is now offered at 180 dollarinis per fixture.
I'll be ordering soon.
Yes. Just emailed them. Will hopefully know when I can order them asapits out finally........ anyone plan on up grading the PC Card inside?

New product launch Atlantik iCon (intelligent connectivity) control system,How to upgrade any older version of Atlantik to the newest launch, the Atlantik iCon control system.orphek.com
can't wait to read how they new upgrade worksYes. Just emailed them. Will hopefully know when I can order them asap
That’s weird. Marketing fail.All I’ve seen so far is the PC card upgrade. I would imagine they would have it included in the new Atlantik but I have yet to see any announcement or anyone selling it yet.
Yea… it’s strange. I would have expected them announce that the new lights being produced have this new system and a side note that you can upgrade your existing lights to it but instead it’s being pitched as an upgrade and no reference to the lights being produced.That’s weird. Marketing fail.
you’d think they would at least address the question with a FAQ or something
the lights they make are excellent lamps I run them over my 500 gallon tank I want to upgrade but as with all new things I like to make sure there are no bugs with either the new card or the new appYeesh - kind of gives me pause as to whether I want to invest in such a disorganized company (by buying their products)

I think 3 of the compacts would be fine on that size tank. Unless it's a deeper and wider tank than 24 inches. Then get the big ones. Could add the strips especially in a hood to help. I use 2 compacts and 4 strips on my 48in tank and grow sps anywhere I see fitRegarding the release of the Orphek Atlantik Icon - Orphek confirmed to me they will be releasing one. The target is August 15th however that is dependent on manufacturing challenges due to supply chain issues (I’m guessing COVID). I didn’t discuss price.
I also asked them about Orphek’s under a canopy. While they didn’t say this is an issue - there have been multiple questions about ventilation and space under the canopy - so I suppose there are risks with this. The canopy I’m getting has 17-18” b/w the top and the water which allows me to mount the Orphek with 15” to the water. I’ve asked my vendor is it’s possible to create some ventilation at the top to let out the heat (the tank isn’t finished being built yet)
Thus far - they have suggested 3-4 lights for a 72” tank if I want to grow SPS. I’m thinking initially I’ll go with 3 - and see how the tank develops with a 4th possible in the future.

That’s interesting. We’ll have to wait and see. I’m planning on upgrading the internals before mounting them in my new canopy but I wanted to see the complete lights released before so I don’t make a mistake and buy the older tech and have regrets. My canopy is going to be very similar but I’m planning on adding a fan set to try to help vent out the heat. They don’t put out a ton of heat as is but when it’s enclosed it may build up to be more.Regarding the release of the Orphek Atlantik Icon - Orphek confirmed to me they will be releasing one.

On the plus side, they are repairable. With many other lights, if it goes out when you’re past the warranty period, you’re out of luck. I had around 15k hours on these LED’s before they had issues. I’m not sure how reliable other lights are but it doesn’t seem too bad to me. I can update it to the latest internals for half the price of a new light like the sky or XR-30.
