UK client’s reef tank shows amazing development under Orphek Atlantik LEDs
Our client began his new build back in June of 2013. He spent much time researching many different brands of lighting for his tank and chose Orphek Atlantik LED lighting to hang above his tank. Nigel has sent us photos during the early stages of his build and the photos below are just a sampling of the many pictures he has taken.

Nigel has made a comment about his Atlantiks in a popular forum.
“That’s very good value based on what I can see, they blow AIs and Radions away. It must be the sheer number of LEDs.
I think you struggle to get an efficient LED with a high output and good punch without the extra wattage. They are more efficient than halides obviously. 170w is very good.“
We would like to thank Nigel for sharing his photos with us and wish him the best of luck with his gorgeous reef tank. To follow Nigel’s complete build process, please click the link below.

ATLANTIK LIGHTS FRENCH CLIENT’S 76 GALLON REEF AQUARIUM
Nicolas has proudly shared with us some great photos of his 76 gallon reef aquarium lit by just one Atlantik. With Atlantik there is no need for two or three units as required by most other brands. Our 24” long Atlantik with its optical quality wide angle lenses provides plenty of spread and intensity for all light loving corals. :
Atlantik review by Reef Builders
By Tanne Hoff on Jun 07, 2013
“Our initial thoughts of the theOrphek Nilusmulticolor LED fixture were favorable as both the spectrum and the spread of light were impressive. As if the company took Mark vanderWal’s post complaining of the lack of spread of modern led fixtures to heart, they came up with something even better with theOrphek Atlantik. Boasting 78 diodes this fixture has a spread even larger than it’s predecessor, especially in tanks that are already grown in and established, this is absolutely a big plus…
OUR FIRST ATLANTIK OWNER SHOWS OFF HIS NEW ATLANTIKS
Thiru, from Malaysia decided to replace his power hungry metal halides above his beautiful reef tank with our new Atlantik LED Pendants. Thiru wanted to bring operating cost down and provide much better color for his reef inhabitants. It has been just a few weeks since the transformation was completed and Thiru stated his corals showed a much better growth rate as some of the pictures will show.
He also stated the colors were much better but stressed that his camera could not capture the beautiful colors as the human eye sees them.
ORPHEK ATLANTIKS ARRIVE IN the UK
Nigel has shared his happiness with us on the arrival of his new Atlantiks .
Nigel is presently seeding his tank and his corals will be placed in this large system soon.
Nigel also chose the Orphek PR72 Reef Pendant for his refugium which is shown on the left side of his system.
We hope Nigel will soon share more photos with us once his tank is established.
Nigel states; “I think my opinion is that this is about the first truly sensibly priced LED available 🙂
and I don’t think I am the only one that thinks so, given the delay in receiving due to demand outstripping what they could produce.”
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ORPHEK?
Why did you choose Orphek ? and were their other brands you considered.
It was between Orphek and Radion. I decided to go with the Atlantik units because of the shear intensity of the light. I also liked the units are 24’’ long.
What led to your decision to go with LED lighting for this project?
I was running 8, T-5 bulbs and knew that in order to get into SPS and LPS’s I would need to upgrade.
I was hesitant about going with metal halides just because of the huge energy cost per month, along with the cost of replacement bulbs.
LED lights were the obvious choice.

ORPHEK ATLANTIK LIGHTING A 48” REEF TANK IN FLORIDA
Jennifer, a recent Orphek customer sent us a few pictures of her new Atlantik suspended above her 48” long reef aquarium. Jennifer is very pleased with her purchase and has shared her feelings with us.
Jennifer also stated that she is very surprised that all that was required was one Atlantik for this four foot tank.
She said she would have required three units of another brand to do the same thing, and at a much higher cost than the Atlantik.
