Good Eye!That's a lot of disco color in those pics on the sand..
Why I refuse to get radion or AI. Or any of the black box leds. And I've heard KessIL is either great, or doesn't get the job done.Good Eye!
I'm running Kessil's with T5 so I completely forgot about disco.
I've ran Kessil's off an on since 2012 and there is no color disco and I love the Kessil Logic but you have to get enough units to get the right spread.Why I refuse to get radion or AI. Or any of the black box leds. And I've heard KessIL is either great, or doesn't get the job done.

Have you seen Slief's 500 gallon build thread?
He loves Kessil's and his tank is proof in the pudding but he is totally sold on the Mitra's and has converted over to then from his Kessil's.
+1I have seen it. It looks awesome!
It seems like their par is rather low.. based on d2minis post anyways. My tank is deeper than the fusion lagoon and at max power he wasn't getting that much+1
And he's really happy with they Mitra's and I'm very impressed with GHL USA support.
I have no clue about their par but many factors come into play when measuring led par.It seems like their par is rather low.. based on d2minis post anyways. My tank is deeper than the fusion lagoon and at max power he wasn't getting that much
I'm here to echo what saltyfilmfolks and Govols already said. The number 1 problem with Orphek is the customer service which is none. I'm an owner of 2 V2.1b units and recently found out that my Orphek mobile app obsolete with the new Android operating system, so I can't modify or control my lights anymore. I was told my Orphek tech support that I have to get an apple device or buy one of their tablet (which is a piece of junk that came with when I purchased the lights, and by the way the Orphek mobile app on that thing suck.) I also learned that my sale contact went rogue and stole from the company ( which I was not surprise due to my experience during the purchase process.) But I'll spare you all the drama, the worst part in my opinion is the customer relationship that I have with the owner is not much better than with this sale person I had. I inquired about an upgrade, one would think there would be some understanding due to the nature of their company with this sale employee and my experience with the same person there would be some way to make up for it. But nothing. So with that, here are my thoughts. If I was to spend as much $$ for what Orphek is asking for, I would expect my investment to last for many more years with their support. Other wise, I'm better off spending the same amount and get something with better resale value like Radion who has been support department and wider user base so you can always ask for help from people within the reefing community. I was there, when I wanted to support a small start up business, well the relationship was only one way street. I know I wouldn't run my business that way. By the way, Saltyfilmfolks is right, I inquired about all the specs base on the company claims and I was told that they're proprietary secrets.
Tried to use PayPal credit last night (love the no interest lol) and they don't accept it (which is fine) I got an email that they are out of black units and woke up this morning to water in my basement (not reef related) so my switch is gonna have to wait until I get this sorted out. Thanks for tagging along, it'll likely be after June before I buy a light now unless I get the orphek but they still won't tell me when it will ship@Dirtrider225
Have you pulled the trigger, yet?
I understand that I can grow coral under any of the lights discussed so long as everything else is up to par. That wasn't my question (I mean you can grow coral under pc lighting so these are world's above that) I just wanted tof find the absolute best light for the money for my applicationBeen in the hobby for about 35 years and had just about every kind of light out there. Like many a reefer was never quite satisfied until I bought the v3's. Been great. Able to grow SPS 35 inches below the light. That being said, I think that you will find reefers having success with most all of the top line lights out there; which tells me that whatever you buy of the lights being discussed, it will be other things that ultimately determine the level f success you have.
I just hope you get your basement resolved.I understand that I can grow coral under any of the lights discussed so long as everything else is up to par.

No kidding, looks like water is leaking in through the cement Block (that's what our basement is made of, the house is kind of older and we haven't been it a year yet) so we will see what comes of thisI just hope you get your basement resolved.
