Looking for some feedback from those that have ran these bars. I currently have 48” RB XHO bars paired with 2 Orphek Atlantik Icons.

Thinking of swapping the RB’s to OR3’s.

Anyone tried both and if so how’d you like each.
 
Everyone will say XHO's due to their spread. OR3's need to be mounted higher due to their optics.

I have an XHO and debating swapping it out for a Blue Plus and maybe a UV/Violet one myself for my new build.

spread and height isn’t a concern. iCons are at 14” above the tank and it’s only 24” wide.

I ordered 2 and am going to try them out. Should actually be less light spill with the swap
