I have 1 orphek icon over a 50 gallon mix reef tank. I love it but u really need to be careful with it. These lights are powerful. I did make a mistake and burnt a few corals out of their misery. But over all I’m really happy with it!
I have also 2 Icons above my tank, at daytime the colorspectrum looks indeed like T5 but towards evening the white channel dims earlier(costum lightschedule) and im pretty happy with the color pop and blue on the Icons. I have also 2 Orphek Blue plus OR3 bars but they aint connected since the Icons produce more than enough PAR at 80%. I do have a PAR meter and I would advice one using with these lights.
@@fadetoblack.- The lightschedule is fully costumazible, so if you want more blue as so colorpop just adjust the blue channels higher and the white channel lower. This will give you more colorpop. For my own costum schedule i run at daytime more white lights because i simply like it. Towards to evening my white channel dims earlier so in the evenings i have my colorpopshow. Im really happy with these lights, easy upgradable to newer generation, good quality.
I really like these lights; however, there were many reports of the V4 version having LEDs burn out within a single year's worth of time, so I'm kind of debating between these, the OSIX, and the Ecotec Radion g6 blues.
That’s actually very well said, I’ve seen Radion g3 pro in person and I thought they were horrible tbh. I doubt anyone near me has Orphek Atlantik Icons, more worried about it’s reliability at this point
I bought 8 Atlantic Icon from Orphek’s Turkish distributor Crc Aquarium. Which was writing on Orphek’s Website as their Turkish distributor.They waited me for 5 months and in delivery day distributor said me that : “Orphek broke their distributor agreement and nothing imported”. Distributor paid my money back but I can’t get new ones even for double price and at least 2 months delay. In addition Leslie (the supplier guy) behaved they don’t know the distributor like they have never met (but Leslie was told me buy from their distributor). I can proof in mails. So they harmed me and my reef tank dream. Please be careful when you buy from Orphek. They are not good supplier and not good people. They don’t even answer now. Don’t live what I experienced harmfully. I hope you better reefing…
I am considering getting this tank, upgrading from a reefer 350, but I am unsure where would be a good place to mount a uv sterilizer. Any suggestions? I been also considering getting a 300 gallon tank from Planet Aquariums for roughly the same price.

What I recommend always is try to find someone with the lights already to compare. Everyone has radions but I've never looked the look of them

@@halalpapi8176 that’s a old problem with 1st gen ! icons don’t have that problem!
Yes, now they make them more reliable then the first couple versions
I have v4, 4 units. LED’s in 3 out of 4 units have burned out within two years. Very disgusted to say the least!!!
Where did you purchase those t-bars?

Sorry no idea on the sterilizer but definitely get a 300 planet aquarium. Bigger is always better
