75g Reef Tank Lighting Suggestion

[Bburger]

Hello ARC,

I am building a 75 gallon reef tank 4ft and I am now on the lights part of the build. I have been really interested in the orphek light bars to simulate a T5 light but I wanted to see other people's tanks and suggestions?

Does anyone have any photos or like the orphek lights ? Or is there something else you recommend

There are some good comments in this thread:

Thread 'Reefbreeders vs Ophrek vs ReeFi'

Apr 21, 2025

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking to upgrade my lighting setup for my 48x24x24 tank and I’d love to get some feedback from those who have experience with any of the following options:

- 1 x 45 ReefBreeders Meridian or 2 x 24's
- 2 x Orphek Natura iCon
- 3 x Reefi Uno 2.1 Pro

I haven’t seen any of these in person yet, so if anyone has used them or has thoughts to share, pros, cons, PAR performance, how they look over a tank, I’d really appreciate it.

If anyone is wondering I am leaning forward the Reefis or the Ophreks.

Thanks!

Here's another good thread from Telegraham who does a lot of light testing:

LED - ReeFi Uno 2.0 Pro - the telegraham take

So, yeah…the @ReeFi Uno 2.0 Pro arrived. I bought this at the pre-order price. Spent my money and received no special treatment. The Uno 2 destroys the $50 more expensive Radion XR15. Mops the floor with the Radion. Publicly shames the Radion. Calls the Radion’s momma names. Take’s your, and...

The ReefBreeders and the ReeFis are the more reasonably priced options that I hear people talk about a lot and really like. I also hear good things about the Orpheks, but they're more expensive.

I have three OR4s getting ready to go over a new grow-out tank I'm setting up, so I'm anxious to see how they look. I've been pretty happy with my Orphek iCon.

Very happy with 4 Noopsyche k7 V3 Pro. Ridiculous name but been solid for me for a few years. Use the club's par meter to set up any LED lighting.

I ended up going with some AI blades and in the future the new Red Sea g2 leds look pretty appealing. I think the blades will be enough light but I like a bit of shimmer in my tank and I like the look of the Red Sea lights
