Orphek Atlantik Compact's on 60" x 30" x 20" Peninsula

[AbdominalSnowman]

I am considering pulling the trigger on 3 Atlantik Compacts for my new tank build, and wanted to get input from everyone here.

I am pretty sure these are the lights I'm going with, but wanted to provide someone an opportunity to convince me otherwise, as the only issue I have come across in my research is that someone had an issue with the lights driver.

I am open to positive and negative feedback on the lights, and the same for other lighting solutions. I'm not interested in hearsay.

I have a tank with similar dimensions,62x30x24h and I have 2 full atlantik v4 on the system and coverage is great on the tank, it's a little dim towards the front n the back cuz the wide width. I have softies n lps towards the front bottom of the tank anyways. I did ended up adding a blue or bar on the front. Btw this tank is a new setup. Just moved corals in 2 weeks ago from my old tank.

I was planning to turn the compacts 90 degrees so the 30" spread covers the width of the tank and so that there is slight overlap from each light on the length.

They should work but it's just going to depend on what u planning to keep.. you can always add extra units in the future if u need

Is there something I'm missing in thinking that rotating 3 compacts that have a 30" x 24" spread each would not cover 60" x 30"? Theoretically it should cover 72" x 30"
