Hi guys
Has anyone par tested an orphek or4 yet?
I run the or4 uv/v bars and they give 75-100 par. Mine are 14" off the surface and it is 19" from the bottom to the surface. Rockwork is 6-8" off the bottom. 3 or4 on my 60" 150 give me an additional 75-100 par across the rockwork.
Tank is 30' wide.
Or3 blue plus on my old 120 gave similar numbers.

Did you find the UV/V bars assisted/improved color? I run two XR30 Blues on my tank, and wouldn't mind additional UV. 90% SPS dominated as well.

Color is enhanced with the uv/v bars. The tank is brighter and color is improved when the whites dial down.
I run mine at 100%.
 
I LOVED my 12" OR4 BP buy I HATED how thick and stiff the power cord was. Made cable management for my setup a royal pain and unsightly.

I paired mine with a Hydra 26HD and the Orpheks alone at 100% would grow everything in my tank by themselves. I only sold them because of the power cord and the app.
