Dear Forum members,
I am planning to add supplement LED BAR lights to my 150 cm x 65 cm SPS dominated reef tank. My primary lighting is a mix of Ecotech Radion G5/G6s.
The 2 preferable choice for me based on features and budget are
Orphek OR3 120 Sky Blue LED (have to buy a OSIX controller separately)
Or
Reef factory Reef Flare Bar120 cm (in built controller & app control).

Any suggestions or feedback on either.

Thanks in advance

The OR3 Blue Plus is a closer match to the spectrum of the Reef Flare blue bars. One thing that jumped out at me is that the OR3 uses 90 degree lenses, but the Reef Flare uses 60 degree lenses, so the Reef Flare will need to be mounted a lot higher to get the same coverage.

Thank you for your feedback.
