Korean SPS dominated reef aquarium lighted by Atlantik V4 and OR3 Blue Plus.
This week we bring you another awesome Korean tank belonging to Wonseok Choi, mixing two Orphek solutions – the Atlantik V4 with a boost of our OR3 Blue Plus.
Recently we have been posting amazing tanks from our clients in Asia.
Usually these tanks have something in common: They are High-end aquascaping salt water reef tanks or reefscaping tanks as we call it.
As you all know aquascaping a saltwater reef tank is not an easy hobby, but once you get it, there are endless possibilities of layouts from small to exquisite large tanks.
So, if you have missed other tanks from Asia go to Singapore and Japan. If you missed the reefscaping tanks with Orphek solutions go to Reefscaping.
Today’s post is all a tank that we have shown before that featured with many other beautiful tanks combining the Atlantik V4 with OR3 LED Bars.
Choi was very kind to send us many beautiful pictures of his tank so we decided to give him a special place and make his very own showcase!
- Tank’s dimensions : 120*45*45cm
- Total volume: 420 liters (110 gallons)
- Type of corals: SPS dominant
- Lighting: one unit of Orphek Atlantik V4 combined with 2 units of OR3 Blue Plus mounted with Orphek’s mounting arms.
- Skimmer: Bubble Magus AB
- Flow: Jebao SLW30 and Jebao SLW20
And he share with us a bit of his journey reefing:
“I changed my tank from LPs dominant to SPS with Orphek Atlantik V4 in February 2020 and a few months later added two OR3 Blue Plus.
Now my corals look so happy. Showing great colors and growth.
Thank you Choi”
We have found an older picture of his tank when he did not have the OR3 Blue Plus LED Bars installed. Check out how his corals have grown beautifully!
Before : Tank in June, 2020 with one unit of Atlantik V4

Since photos worth a 1000 words, let’s see the new photos he has sent to us!
Also notice how healthy and beautiful his stick corals look! We all know how hard it is to care and maintain these corals!

OR2 150/120/90/60 Reef LED Lighting X T5
Orphek has been offering panel style LED lighting solutions for the last 10 years, providing a highly diffused light source and delivering the perfect intensity and spectrum to the reef aquarium in the form of the Atlantik series.
Now combined with our OR3 you can get the ultimate spectrum as if you were using T5s!
The idea was to develop an affordable LED, offering a T5 – like coverage length of the tank, but has all the efficiency, spectrum choice and power associated with LED technology with the following benefits:
- OR3 bar LEDs typically use 50% less power consumption than T5.
- Unlike T5 bulbs, which need to be replaced very 6-12 months, LEDs require no maintenance.
- There is no new acclimation period required for corals – there is with T5 replacement for new bulbs.
- OR3 bar LEDs have an output of around 2 x that of a comparable T5 bulb – meaning less units are required to fully illuminate the aquarium.
- OR3 heat sink is around 41C and the heat is dispersed upwards rather than heating the aquarium water.
- Each OR3 bar has multiple LED color chips providing a balanced spectrum for each bar.
- OR3 LEDs penetrate the water column giving better performance at depth, providing a shimmer effect to give the aquarium a sharper, colorful visual appearance.
- OR3 bar LEDs come as standard in 2 spectrum choices with customized options available for special order.
- Just 2 x OR3 bars, a combination of 1 x Reef Day Plus and 1 x Blue Plus will deliver PAR of ~400 at the surface and ~250 + mid aquarium mounted 20cm above the water level.
