New 190gal Build and want to do orphek lighting

[CodeRed]

I just purchased a 190 gallon rimless aquarium from top shelf aquatics in Orlando, FL. The dimensions are 60L X 30W X 24H. I wanted to do Orphek for lighting and was thinking about two fullsize Atlantic v4 gen2. Will this be enough for an sps dominant reef? They will be running from left to right. Any info on these lights is greatly appreciated.

Why not go straight to the horse's mouth and ask Orphek? They have a sponsor forum here at R2R.

I did. They suggested two full size V4’s with two blue plus 60” OR3’s. One mounted on the front and one mounted on the back. That is what I bought. Should be a nice setup.

Good luck with Orphek. Mine didn't last very long before leds stopped working. It's a real pain to fix them .

yeah you will need the OR3 bars for sure with that setup. They are good lights while they work. Its what I currently have on my display. You can see my build thread
