Orphek OR3 Directly on Lid

[rcpiv93]

I have a Proclear200. I’m currently running two Nicrew200s. I’ve just added an Orphek OR3 for supplemental light. I would like to focus most of the light on my SPS, so I don’t want the light too high and too diffused. Is it ok to sit the light directly on top of my TopLids cover? That places the light about two inches above the water line.

That should be ok. But consult with them if it's compatible with their Aura acrylic mounts.

Orpheks have narrow lenses and are made to be mounted high.

I've got mine about 4" above the water line. They do have narrow lenses but it's easy to remove those. Happy I did.
