What is a good light bar for extra par?

[Naekuh]

I am using the chinese knock off's of the orphek or3's
They look like this and can be found on aliexpress.

They are pretty close to the OR3's, but i am using it to get more sparkle out of my corals then actual par. So mine are not tuned all the way up, and i have the one with UV mixed.

So far i like them a lot.
As for how long they last, i'll let people know when they start dying or have problems.

Oh the controller has memory when power goes off, and does not reset the settings on the dimmer which is a even bigger plus.

Yup.

 

[ajremington68]

Yup.

You said you run these bars?

I do.

 

[ajremington68]

I do.

Any chance you can send a pic whenever you get a chance of how you have them mounted on your tank?

Just a fair warning about these lights tho.
The mounting hardware is not really flexable.
Like you will need to hang them, as there are no stands you can mount them on without having a trip to home depot.

And the mounting hardware is pretty subpar, in the features you can do like adjustable height.

Q: What can I use to add more light to my tank (light bar). Looking for a more budget light bar to add to the back of my regular 55-gallon aquarium. I have 2 K7 mini noopsyche lights and the front of my tank gets decent light not my back for whatever reason. Would a 4-foot or 3-foot light bar work? If so what are some good budget brands that'll get me extra par back there. Thanks!

Orphek OR3 sky blue or Reefbrite XHO and even Reef Breeders light bar
