Just Purchased Orphek PR156w+UV, Install Today

I pulled the trigger on LED, and purchased the 24" Orphek PR156+UV for my aquarium. It will be delivered this afternoon, I will post pics and updates!

 

Its a great fixture, I have two over my tank and at first I had some issues with it but I had a great customer service experience and have it all worked out! Be careful and acclimate your corals, the light is pretty strong

 

Did you get the new one with some reds and dimming capabilities?

The light was actually very easy to install, what took me the longest was suspending it from the ceiling, had to cut a board and mount it to studs before hanging. For the cost of this fixture, I was not going to chance hanging it from the drywall! The timers were very easy to program, I used the step by step instructions on youtube, made setup take less than 5 minutes. The pictures below show my tank with my old lighting next to it with my new lighting, the pictures are drastic, the new lighting makes my aquarium look like it went from standard, to hi definition! The fixture itself feels very solid and well built, I got the one with 120 degree optics, UV and 2 red LED's. So far, the colors are allready popping, im excited to see how everything is going to look fully opened up. The pic with the moon lights isnt very good, I could not get a great shot with m iPhone.

 

looks beautiful, Orpheks light are top notch and deliver amazing par as well. You will enjoy it very much. The color rendition from your old lights to new lights is unreal.

 

I really think that my corals will really start to pop soon, I hope I get alot more colors out of them!

 

The improvements they made to allow it to dim and the red, makes that one of my favorite units these days.
