We all know this hobby is an expensive addiction. So when it comes to new equipment purchases, we all want to make the best decision that way we have left over money for more corals and fishes. This is where I need fellow reefers advice. Recently, many Orphek Atlantik owners found their Atlantik v2.1 software no longer function with latest Android release. For me, that means I can no longer make changes to the lighting configuration and/or lighting schedule. For about $1000, I can do a hardware upgrade to my 2 fixtures to current version 4.0, boards and LED’s. For about $800 I can get a brand new Radion Pro G4 with better resale value and with my other G4 (won in a raffle) I am in business. I’m not sure how Orphek owner’s experience has been with the manufacture is, mine hasn’t been very customer friendly compare to my experience with EcoTech Marine. It might have started with a certain rogue sale staff from Orphek that is no longer there, but it hasn’t really improved since my recent inquiry with the company. I’m leaning toward the Radion Pro option, but in the end it’s all about the corals. So would an Orphek owner or Radion owner shed some light into why I should pick one over the other. Thanks in advance.
