Reefbrite XHO or Orphek OR3 LED bar as supplement

[Moia44]

I have both and my biggest complaint is that I can't adjust the intensity of the Orphek bars ... they were supposed to release a dimmer this spring but haven't yet to my knowledge. I have the blues of both to supplement a couple hydra 52 hd's . The orpheks increased the par too much and starting bleaching some of my coral. Switched to to the XHO with the dimmer and corals are responding better.

At what height do you have them mounted?
I also bought the two of them but still in transit. I’m afraid exactly of that with the Orphek. My canopy allows maximum mounting height of 8 inches from the water.

I just put up a review, it can be found here:

Reefbrite XHO Blue VS Orphek OR3 Blue Plus - Pics and Par Results

Since BRS hasn’t covered this yet I did a quick output comparison between a Reefbrite XHO Blue (30”) and an Orphek OR3 Blue Plus (24”). Figured I’d share my results with the community. I’ve always been extremely happy with XHO output and spread, in fact I have them over every single reef tank...

Orphek has a broader spectrum than reef brite, but their daylight bar will have some disco effect.

Many thanks for the vid tank looks swell . I’m thinking or running reef brite xho over my sps along side my red. Sea 90s ‍♂

How would you even mount the Orpheks and an XR-15? I have the g6 pro, and primes over my tank (Reefer170) and I’m still having shadowing issues

Reef brite has kits that attach to your xr-15s.

Yeah but can Orphek be mounted to those?
