Spectacular mix reef aquarium from Singapore under OR3 120 Reef Day and Blue Plus
This week we are really excited to bring this amazing story of David’s aquarium. This Singaporean reefer has been growing SPS and LPS corals over a year and although he says he is not an experienced reefer, he is excelling in the hobby! Not only he accomplished to grow his corals beautifully, he also made a journal to keep track of this wonderful project!
We were amazed to learn that he has keeping his aquarium with the same water since day one, not changing the water of the tank even a single time! Feeding method also has blow or minds away (find out in the excerpts of his journal here)!
- Type of tank: Redsea 350
- Type of corals: SPS and LPS
- Lighting: Orphek OR3120 Reef Day and Blue Plus (2 units of each) mounted with Orphek’s mounting arms.
Photos worth a 1000 words, and these amazing photos of his tank is just the case!

We brought here some excerpts of his journal
If you also wish to have an amazing reef tank without having to spend a lot of money you will learn here how to do so. David succeeded to find solutions that were in his budget and he is sharing with all of us how to do it:
"Finally after months of contemplating, I’ve decided to write about my reefer 350’s journey. Made the move on this tank about four months ago and was kinda nervous because all along I’ve only been dealing with nano tanks and feel like I was not ready for a huge one. Nevertheless, I read, read & read countless of forums and watched tons of videos just to stock up my knowledge on reefing as I did not want anything to go wrong. I bought the redsea reefer 350 from SAS while they had a promo so I think it can be considered as a pretty good buy."
Borrowed a par meter from a friend and realized that I wasn’t really getting a good enough evenly spreaded out par due to the AI Prime being a spotlight led. The edge of the tank was getting a mere 25-50 par but in order to increase the par I had to bump up the whites which gave the tank a very washed out look which I did not like. Read many reviews online about the brand Orphek and came across these bars called Orphek OR3 Led bars. Was contemplating whether to use the 90cm or 120cm bars as I did not want light spilling outside of the tank or the whole house would be blued out. I initially wanted to go with two Atlantik V4 compacts but the price was too steep compared to having 4 bars over my reef. Although they are meant to be supplementary lights, as I was thinking to go with the A360X kessil lights, I decided to use them as my main lights because the color was so beautifully and evenly spreaded out when I saw them at the lfs. Had a very good deal so I went ahead and bought 4 (deciding to add another blue plus soon) OR3 120 Bars consisting of 2 blue plus and 2 reef day along with the orphek universal mounting kit.
Here’s a picture of just the OR3 Blue pluses turned on. Turns out the light spill wasn’t that bad when mounting them at a height of 10″. Using the lights, I immediately saw corals open up more and having a more fluorescent highlight compared to the AI Prime.
Tank has been doing really well the past month. So far 9 months already without water changes. Water is still crystal clear without any tint of yellow or green. Topping up trace elements with Tropic Marin’s A and K elements together with balling method. Here are some pictures of the corals flourishing. I don’t really spot feed my corals, except I do throw in coral frenzy once a week for the corals to have a treat, the rest is just nature taking its own course
We put up a gallery of photos of his color to showcase the color pop and the fast growth of his corals.
The pictures David sent us shows vibrant health color hues of the corals and skeletal mass accumulation improvement:

Najbolja LED traka za Reef Aquarium 2020 s dual core 5W!
O OR3 – 2020
Naša novi model OR3 – 2020 dolazi sa NOVIM LED diodama! Orphek je širom svijeta prepoznat po tome što je lider u LED rasvjetnim rješenjima za akvarijume koji su u stanju da isporuče proizvode koji pružaju savršen intenzitet/efikasnost.
Šta to znači?
To znači da dobijate iste LED diode koje nudimo u našim Atlantik V4 svjetlima! To znači da dobijate nove prilagođene visokoefikasne 5w LED diode za napajanje sa dva čipa koje su još tehnološki naprednije, a samim tim i efikasnije!
Naše nove LED diode će trajati duže od prethodnih Orphek LED dioda jer smo poboljšali njihov životni vijek!! Radi na 50% našeg novog modela 2020. 5w napredne LED diode s dvostrukim čipom otpornije su na veću toplinu i nudi najveću PAR dugovječnost sa zaista minimalnim gubicima tokom godina.
I ne samo to, poboljšali smo i unutrašnje sočivo kako bismo bili sigurni da dobijate najbolje Orphek LED diode!

OR2 150/120/90/60 Reef LED rasvjeta X T5
Orphek nudi rješenja LED rasvjete u stilu panela posljednjih 10 godina, pružajući visoko difuzni izvor svjetlosti i isporučujući savršeni intenzitet i spektar grebenskom akvariju u obliku Atlantik serije.
Sada u kombinaciji sa našim OR3 možete dobiti vrhunski spektar kao da koristite T5s!
Ideja je bila da se razvije pristupačna LED dioda, koja nudi dužinu pokrivanja rezervoara poput T5, ali ima svu efikasnost, izbor spektra i snagu povezanu sa LED tehnologijom sa sljedećim prednostima:
- OR3 bar LED diode obično troše 50% manje energije od T5.
- Za razliku od T5 sijalica, koje treba zamijeniti nakon 6-12 mjeseci, LED diode ne zahtijevaju održavanje.
- Za korale nije potreban novi period aklimatizacije – postoji sa zamjenom T5 za nove sijalice.
- OR3 bar LED diode imaju snagu od oko 2 x više od uporedive T5 sijalice – što znači da je potrebno manje jedinica za potpuno osvjetljenje akvarija.
- OR3 hladnjak je oko 41C i toplina se raspršuje prema gore umjesto zagrijavanja akvarijske vode.
- Svaka OR3 traka ima višestruke LED čipove u boji koji pružaju uravnotežen spektar za svaku traku.
- OR3 LED diode prodiru u vodeni stup dajući bolje performanse na dubini, pružajući efekt svjetlucanja kako bi akvariju dao oštriji, šareniji vizualni izgled.
- OR3 bar LED diode standardno dolaze u 2 spektra izbora sa prilagođenim opcijama dostupnim za posebnu narudžbu.
- Samo 2 x OR3 šipke, kombinacija 1 x Reef Day Plus i 1 x Blue Plus će dati PAR od ~400 na površini i ~250 + u sredini akvarijuma postavljenog 20 cm iznad nivoa vode.
