[tri989]

Hello all,
I'm newbie, i prepare to setup a new frag tank for sps. The size tank is 48''x24"x12" and i use 1 orpherk v4 for this tank. Is this enough for my tank? Plz give me some advice.
Thanks all.

No experience with this light but brs has this video on it.

Yes hung high but also with T5 supplements. You will have alot of shading if you ONLY run that light. I personally would sell it and buy an 8 bulb T5 or multiple smaller different style led light for better coverage.

I think the LED should work,I don't have experience with it, but I use LEDs (xr15, hydra 26 hd) I'm personally not a fan of all the space used and look of t5's

Welcome to R2R!!! Eventually, when I set up my frag tank I will simply put t5's on the tank. I don't care about it popping in a frag tank, I want maximum growth rate.

Yes I have this light you don’t need any T5’s unless you have shading. That’s the beauty of the Orphek.
