Looking to add the orphek OR3 to help my 2 hydra 26s light my 120 mixed reef. Ive been reading peoples posts saying that they have died after a year. Is this common? also i read on their site that running them at 50% widens the life span? is this automatic running at 50% straight out of the box? or is the dimmer needed ?

I've had my or3 bars for about 5 months now. Unless I have seriously misunderstood, there is no controller for or3 and no way to dim the lights.

EDIT: The or3 lights are automatically set at 50% to conserve the life, but no way to adjust up or down. I don't know how long the or3 life is though

There is the new osix, but its not available to everyone just yet

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
