Orphek officially announces today the launching of Osix – The OR3 Bar iCon Smart Dim Controller!
Osix is a smart device with iCon technology that allows you to program, control, monitor and dim your OR3 Reef Aquarium LED Bars; and integrate them with all Orphek iCon LED solutions.
The game changer.
ONE SMART DEVICE THAT WILL CHANGE FOREVER THE WAY YOU HAVE BEEN REEFING!
Orphek groundbreaking 10,000% dimming and 24h programming technology for coral health, growth, color, spawning and biological clock correction.BEST SPECTRUM BY DAY + REAL NATURAL MOONLIGHT BY NIGHT:
- Osix ables you to get the best spectrum created by Orphek during the day with 1 – 100% dimming range.
- Osix ables you to combine it with Orphek’s moonlight spectrum during the night with 10,000% (0.01 to 1%) dimming range.
Understand how Osix 10,000% dimming system is important for optimal coral growth coloration and health.

Like most living creatures, coral and fish need a dark period to rest. According to research corals must receive a period of darkness to achieve an optimal coral growth coloration and health.
Ordinary dim systems offer you a 1% to 100% dim range. This is appropriated for day time, but not for night time.
WHAT ABOUT ONE BLUE LED FOR MOON CYCLE?
For starters, the Moon spectrum is not blue. It reflects visible light emitted by the sun, so it is a full spectrum.
Second, the 1 – 100% dim range of one blue LED only for night and moon cycles is not suitable, because this single LED still creates photosynthetic activity.
During a Moon Cycle, for each phase of the Moon, this one LED start progressively to increase its PAR – First day – 1%, second day – 2%… and on the 15th day, at full moon, it will reach a peak of 15%.
It means that these corals in captive environments will continuously be in photosynthetic activity, generating residual energy inside of them. It also means that this 1 LED that work at night with 0 – 100% dim system of light will continuously disturb your fish’s circadian rhythm and all biological clocks of the marine creatures in your tank.
