Even starts presenting the video and from the very beginning he sets the tone of the video by explicitly stating that he has no sponsorship from Orphek, and has personally purchased all the products showcased in the upcoming content.
[We want to emphasize that this video is a completely independent initiative of the channel, further confirming its authenticity. We have eagerly awaited the opportunity to come across videos like this, and we are truly thrilled to share it with all of you!]
About Osix
He also mentions that Orphek was caught by their radar when they saw SPS dominated tank running in forums with Orphek’s Atlantik iCon units. The colors and the pop from the corals were attention grabbing to say the least.
So, excited about color pop he mentions that the with the release of Orphek’s OR3 LED Bars it was possible to add color pop to his corals, using them as supplemental light to achieve that extra pop i to get the same coverage of T5’s but with the pop and shimmering offered by LEDs when combined with the Osix controller, being able to link 06 or 03 bars to get the same features and App. of the Atlantik iCon.

[Indeed, Orphek R&D team developed and engineered a sophisticated technology, converting what could be one more dimming controller in the market into a groundbreaking device that will integrate LED lighting solutions is a way never seen before :
Osix is a smart device with iCon technology that allows you to program, control, monitor and dim up to 06 units of OR3 Reef Aquarium LED Bars and also integrate them with all Orphek iCon LED solutions.
Sa Orphek Osix-om ćete moći da povežete svoje OR3 LED trake sa Orphek super aplikacijom. koji je kompatibilan i sa Androidom i iPhoneom.]
About build quality of Orphek lights
Before going into further details about his decision, he wanted to share his opinion regarding the build quality of Orphek products. He explains that these lights are his first Orphek lights, and even before unboxing them, he noticed how heavy and solid they were (five pound a piece).
The entire surface of the bars are extruded aluminum heat sinks which means no noisy fans or any moving parts for that matter.
He also mentions that they are not heated to touch even and its peak, IP67 waterproof rated (he adds that in his opinion it is not necessary but in this hobby everyone knows that water and salt creep gets everywhere at some point).
[No wonder…OR3 LED Bars comes with a 8mm acrylic cover!
Both Osix and OR3 LED Bars are developed with exceptional quality and durability, developed specifically to provide a safe natural ambiance including aquariums with expensive retko, exotic & high maintenance species.

Osix and OR3 LED Bars are IP67 waterproof certified – All parts of Orphek Osix iCon Controller, including Orphek OR3 LED Bars connected are IP67 certified (and all parts, connectors, extension cables and plugs are water-proof, anti-rust, anti-corrosion). Orphek is also proud to be probably the company with the most IP67 and IP65 line of lighting products for reef in the market today!
Osix ima visokokvalitetni električni eloksirani aluminijumski premaz – Svi aluminijski dijelovi su izrađeni od visokokvalitetnog električnog eloksiranog aluminijskog premaza, stoga nikada neće hrđati čak ni u kontaktu sa slanom vodom ili sredinama s visokom vlažnošću!
The compliment to us: Orphek takes R&D to another level in these fixtures.
and he adds…They use their own proprietary 5watt LEDs and Osix is driven with a single Mean well power supply. That means one power brick and one plug.
[About the LEDs in our OR3 LED Bars – You are getting newer high efficiency 5w Dual-Chip power LEDs running at 50% of the power, for highest PAR longevity with really minimum loss over the years!]
Šta OR3 LED šipke were chosen to run on this aquarium
As @cloud9aquariums explains, he chose to run 2 units of Orphek’s OR3 Blue Plus LED Bars + 2 units of OR3 Reef Day LED Bars + 2 units of OR3 UV/Violet LED Bars, all assembled and hung with Orphek-ovi univerzalni nosači za fiksiranje and Hanging Kits, controlled and dimmed by Osix and programmed by Orphek App.
[ Find here quick info on the spectrums chosen:
OR3 Blue Plus – Nevjerovatan najširi plavi/ljubičasti fluorescentni spektar. Blue/Violet spectrum 400-500nm for SPS/LPS/Soft coral growth and wide fluorescent coral pop. Maximum absorption of Chlorophyllc2 (the most common form of chlorophyll c) is achieved around 447nm.
OR3 Reef Day Plus – Najširi bijeli cijeli prirodni dnevni spektar. Najširi 18000K puni spektar 390-740nm za SPS/LPS/meki rast koralja, boju i osvjetljenje.
OR3 UV/ljubičasta – Unparalleled widest actinic fluorescent pop. UV/Violet Actinic for SPS/LPS/Soft coral growth and Actinic fluorescent coral pop. 400-430nm wavelengths are very useful in photosynthesis. Absorbed by chlorophylls a and c2. wide violet band of 400-430nm proved to be essential for the excitation of fluorescent proteins.]

Connecting, programming and monitoring the OR3 LED Bars with Orphek App.
After downloading the Orphek App. from the internet, Even selected his tank in the App.
He elucidates that you will come across a program mode and a quick mode, facilitating effortless control of all six channels with just one touch or the ability to adjust individual channels according to your preference. You will notice that the adjustments that you do are for the entire Bar and not for individual LEDs.
He highlights that this means that you cannot go off on a wild bender creating some absurd spectrum that the corals won’t even like.
[This is a very wise comment from his part. Orphek OR3 LED Bars are one of our most versatile line of LED lighting solutions. orphek relies on years of research that were necessary to create LED Bars to render optimal SPS/LPS/Soft boost of coral color pop, health & growth/ fluorescent color/ photosynthesis and you don’t want to loose that!]
Even demonstrates the versatility of these bars by adjusting the percentages of the channels, both collectively across all bars and individually within each bar, using the App. You will be able to witness the distinct lighting effects produced in the tank, as he provides a visual representation of the diverse lighting outcomes that can be achieved.

program
While @cloud9aquariums elaborates on the functionalities of the App, he proceeds to demonstrate how he programmed his OR3 LED bars.
He has a four hour ramp up with the first two hours being UV and blue heavy and then five hours Peak, followed by another four hours ramp down, with the last two hours being UV and blue only.
He also chose to use Orphek’s Lunar Mode, which according to the his explanation je prvi te vrste. He mentions that we did extensive research into this mode and found that the true Lunar lighting is actually full spectrum and at incredibly low levels, so this mode actually allows to dim below one percent and then automatically mimics natural moon cycles.
In addition, he explains that for those seeking simplicity, Orphek has conveniently pre-loaded the Helius schedule in the App, which proves to be highly effective in the majority of tanks.
[Pa, želimo se ovdje brzo zaustaviti i dodati nekoliko komentara za vas!

NAJBOLJI SPEKTAR PO DANU + PRAVA PRIRODNA MJESEČINA NOĆU:
Da biste dobili najbolji spektar koji je Orphek kreirao tokom dana sa rasponom zatamnjivanja od 1 – 100% i možete ga kombinovati sa Orphekovim spektrom mjesečine tokom noći sa rasponom zatamnjivanja od 10,000% (0.01 do 1%).
He nailed when he mentioned our research. While relying on decades of academic research, Orphek R&D Teams developed and engineered the One and Only Real Moon Cycle in LED Reef lighting Solutions reproducing Nature at its fullest.
I samo malo detalja, naučite kako Osix mijenja igru i ovo je pionir!!!
