Two of the big guys or 3 compacts. Or two compacts with the or120 stripsHi guys in your opinion how many orphek icon or compact icon should i use in My reef tank? 48”x22”x22” full sps reef tank
This is my 48x18x24 two compacts and 4 or120. Probably would be fine with 2 strips and no kessils but I like the overkill and shimmerHi guys in your opinion how many orphek icon or compact icon should i use in My reef tank? 48”x22”x22” full sps reef tank

Hey, below the schedule you should see dots(Set points). tap on it and it should turn red, from there you should be able to move or adjust it. Let me know if that works.I just got finished with the upgrades to the 4 gen2 that I recently got and are all now running the full icon upgrade. I am in the process of trying to program them and would love to use the helius program that is already preprogrammed, but trying to adjust the start and end times to the program. Can anyone tell me how to just move the times over would like to have it start later and turn off later to maximize my viewing time when I get home from work? Thanks.
Your tank size is quite close to my tank. I’m really keen to see a video of these lights on a large tank - especially want to see how much shimmer these lights produce (love Kessil shimmer). Thanks!You can’t go wrong with adding the OR3 Blue Plus bars. I have 4 of them on my 300gal, along with 3 V4s and the spectrum that they give off in addition to the V4s is beautiful.
On the flip side, I am upgrading my V4s to the Icons. I just ordered 3 more for a total of 6 over my 84” x 30” x 26”. Overkill? Probably, but I want complete/blanket coverage for my SPS dominate tank.
How is the shimmer - any videos?My 3 came in today!!! They look amazing!!! Still working on the programming. App is pretty user friendly once you start playing around enough with it.
Also desperately looking for some videosI took a look at your build thread, did you ever try the Helius spectrum? I can't really find any videos showing the spectrum.
Check out the ATI Stratons if you like a “whiter” spectrumDid you consider the coralcare gen 2 ? More of a white spectrum

Ive had my icons installed for about a month..... the colors of my corals are amazing. Im a fan..... just hope they are reliable.I ended up installing 6 Icons over my tank, not a whole lot of videos and reviews out right now to consume on the Icons. You will not get Kessil shimmer from these but it's a shimmer I really enjoy.
Question…..with your tank being 36”wide did you hang the lights “front to back” (perpendicular)? My tank is 34” wide and worry about the 24” long Orphek being able to cover that large width.Thanks!
I know I might be asking a lot but any chance you could take a quick video so I could get a sense for what the shimmer looks like?

If you email Orphek they will give some recommendations. For a 72x30 full SPS they suggests 4 perpendicular or 3 end to end with OR3 supplements. They said 3 perpendicular would be enough, but with growth their may be shadow. You may be better off doing two rows of compacts rather than the big ones for a 36" width.Question…..with your tank being 36”wide did you hang the lights “front to back” (perpendicular)?
