Orphek PR-25 & ML-7UV

Rate this Entry
Here are some pics of my 29g under these Orphek fixtures. I've got to say... the ML-7UV puts out some SICK colors. I loved it. :-)

Here's a pic of my open brain coral under my current moon light.


Here's a pic of my open brain under the ML-7UV moon light/actinic fixture.


This is a full tank shot under my current moon lighting.


Full tank shot under the ML-7U. I should mention... I could have raised this light MUCH higher and got better coverage if it were being used as a moon light. At this height I feel it would have been sending out very usable par.

Here's a full tank shot under the PR-25. I really had to shorten my shudder speed a LOT for this. Only one click less than I shorten it for my 250w MH equivalent LEDs. This fixture could light a 24" area no problem... oh, and the shimmer this LED creates is gorgeous.


Here's a pic of the open brain under the PR-25 & the ML-7UV. I'm SO Jealous of this pic. It's like the already great color of LEDs, PLUS an extra amazing actinic color. I was blown away...


Full tank shot under both the PR-25 & ML-7UV. Sorry for the weird angle on this... I only had one fixture for holding the light over the tank... so I'm trying to hold a lamp upside down over the tank at this point. Haha.


These fixtures are sweet!

    Nice pics Thanks for sharing.
    I just ordered a PR25UV for my 26 G cube(20x20x18). I thought I couldn't fit an ML7 next to it as then the light would have to be offset to one side of the tank and would look unnatural? Can you please post a pic of how you have them installed over your tank?

    I'll get a pic up tomorrow of the ML-7UV.

    Maroun.c, I didn't actually mount both of the lights over my tank. I had a single fixture setup that I used for each bulb when I took the pictures of them individually over the tank. When I took the pic of both of them on the tank I actually didn't have a second fixture (these bulbs are not the lighting I have on this tank from day to day). So, in the pic where both of them are over the tank I'm actually holding the lamp from my night stand over the tank. Haha. It was at a different angle for sure, but it didn't look bad at all.

    I actually won these lights in nano-reef's anniversary giveaway and don't have a tank for them. I've got them for sale if anyone is interested. Didn't post this for that reason... that's not really what reef-addicts is for. But... if someone is already planning to buy one I can save you a bit of money. *EDIT* The ML-7UV sold this morning.
