Hello,
Currently i have the red sea reefer 250. it is a 36" tank, over it i have an ATI Nanobox reef hybrid (4x 39 watt t5, 6 nanobox reef v3 led arrays) Needless to say it puts off a ton of light. I cant grow sps worth ****, and the leds are never ran above 50%
With that being said, i think id like to switch fully to LED, and I think i like the orphek light, it is 24" fixture so it should cover a 36" tank fine, as for shadowing im not too concerned as again, i struggle with sps as it is so it shouldnt be too much of an issue as i will likely avoid them for the most part unless something changes.
Whats everyones experience with orphek lights? Im not finding too many reviews of them online so i wanted to ask here and see if the subject matter experts had anything to say about them?
EDIT: The main reason i want to switch is to not have to replace t5 bulbs anymore, especially if i dont actually need the led/t5 hybrid cause i cant keep sps anyways.
