Orphek Atlantik V4

[bullseyereef]

Whats up everyone. Recently switch to an Orpherk Atlantik v4 and 2 Orphek Blue bars.
im looking for what everyone is running for setting and what PAR are ppl trying to go for on a mixed reef?
My tank is 48'x20' and the lights are about 15-16' above the water.
Pictures of your Orphek lit tanks would be cool also!

How long are you running them for a day? Ramp up? I am getting ready to finish up my tank and curious. I was thinking about just running a preprogrammed option.

Hey I have a 75g also, I'm debating buying the orphek atlantik v4 or 2 of the orphek atlantik v4 compact. Does the larger one spread well enough or would the 2 compacts do a better job ?

You could get sps par in 2/3 of tank with just v4, but some want that par across all 4 feet. For some sps and some LPS, you want just the v4.
For sps par across all 4 feet, use 2 compacts.
