Received my lights a few weeks ago and finally have them up. I had my father's funeral to deal with and was having a light rack built so, took a little longer than expected. Picked the rack up from the powder coater, yesterday morning. <br />Have to say I really like the difference they have made on the appearance of my tank. Hopefully my coral feel the same. <br />

So you've had your lights up for over a month, what's your honest opinion and feelings on them? Any documented coral growth?
I was very very close to pulling the trigger on 2 Atlantik V2.1 dual chip fixtures but chickened out because not one person in my state has them and I wanted to see them in person. Went the "safe" route and bought 2 Radion gen 3 pro's. Can't say I regret it because I love my lights but I do still think about the Orpheks.

Still loving the orpheks too. Can't say one is better than the other but my colors and growth rate are far better and the algae on my glass has greatly, decreased.

Any new colors on those sps colonies? Only asking a bunch of questions because I'll be lighting a 150g tank soon and like I said before I still like the Orpheks just can't see them in person in my area.
