New Aquarium using Atlantik Compact
A client of ours in France sent us a photograph showing his new build using our new Atlantik Compact. We are anxious to see more photos as the development of his reef progresses. The Atlantik Compact and our Atlantik P are both excellent solutions for lighting cube tanks similar to our client’s tank.

Contest will start Oct. 13th 2014 and end on Feb. 15th 2014. There is no deadline on entries but the sooner you start the better.

Photos must also include proof of user and date marked on something placed beside the coral and within the photo. Proof must include your Reef2Reef username and date of photo.

Gianluca outstanding Reef Aquarium
Gianluca outstanding Reef Aquarium enhanced beauty by Orphek Atlantik LED lighting
Gianluca outstanding Reef Aquarium
Gianluca, our client from Italy (in fact one of the very fist clients to purchase our Atlantik series fixture) was visited by Danilo Ronchi from Danireef.com who took outstanding pictures of his SPS dominated tank. As you all hobbyist, it is very hard to succeed to take pictures under LEDs, but under Orphek Atlantik V.x lights at full spectrum they came out great. You will notice how the beauty of the shapes and colors of corals and fish are enhanced by Orphek LED aquarium Lights. Danilo was more than kind to share these exquisite pictures of Gianluca's tank with us, so we would like to thank both of them for giving all of us the opportunity to see these wonderful creatures in its best appearance.
