Hi friends, I'm considering an Orphek Icon over a frag system. I'm a long time MH/T5 guy. I've also used Radion G5 and Kessil 360x. Any first hand experiences with the Icon and tank pics will be helpful in my decision. Thanks!

You’ll love the colors and capabilities
I have run Orphek exclusively for quite some time

I'm never worried about PAR. Only spectrum and spread I have grown SPS nicely under 200 PAR. I'm actually looking to find an equivalent alternative to my staple Phoenix 250 MH that is LED. So far with Kessil and G5 they are not equivalent. The G5 made nicer colors. But not equal growth as my MH.

Set the Orphek to the Helius program, if you want just a touch more toward a radium adjust channel 1 down

Ok sounds good. I don't understand the choices of LED's they've used. I personally would have put a few 540nm in place of a few whites. This is one of the peaks in ATI blue plus. Must be useful, that T5 works for any coral everytime.
