Atlantik powered French reef tank

Atlantik powered French reef tank

Our French client, Nicolas, shares photos a year later of his Atlantik  powered reef tank

Nicolas has sent us a very nice email regarding his Atlantik and what it did for his reef tank.



hello james

How are you.

I always follow the news in Orphek, many new products, new led lighting, skimmer ........

Always happy with my ramp atlantik v1, corals grow right, still without supplementation (balling) and without calcium reactor.
Yet I light 65% of maximum power .....

Simple maintenance, change water just 2 per month, or about 40 liters, barely 10% of the volume and good skimmer AquaExcel AECH

My tank is (cm) 80x80x45 (31.2 x 31.2 x 178 = 75 gallons)

I think growing up in one year or two, I would have needed a second ramp, compatible with my v1 atlantik at this moment .....

Some pictures I made ​​it a few weeks ago to see the Evolution (the first weeks at this link :        https://fr.orphek.com/orphek-led-review/atlantik-lights-french-client-reef-aquarium/

Pictures taken with white LEDs only at 65% power.

The Balling Method of Dosing Briefly Explained

The balling method of dosing calcium, carbonates and the remaining elements has become quite popular in Europe because of the results gained by its use. The term “Balling” actually comes from the man who developed this system, Hans Werner Balling. Because of his brilliance as an aquarist and scientist, Tropic Marin hired Mr. Balling as their Product Development Director and has direct supervision over the manufacturing process to ensure the ingredients are in perfect balance.





What does the balling method do?



Conventional two part dosing includes calcium chloride and sodium carbonates. The corals absorb the calcium and the carbonates to grow and develop their skeleton. What is left is chloride and sodium resulting in a slow rise in salinity. Continued dosing in this manner along with water changes creates an ionic imbalance in the aquarium of sodium and chloride. The Balling Method also raises salinity slowly; the difference is that it is raised in a totally ionically balanced condition with the Balling Method instead of an unbalanced rise in salinity with the two part method.



Part C of the Balling Method system contains all the elements found in sea water with the exception of sodium chloride. This insures that the increase in Sodium Chloride that is caused by the addition of the Part A and Part B is kept in ionic balance with all the components of natural sea water. The Tropic Marin balling system is available in granular or liquid form for use with dosing systems.

The Orphek Azurelite 5 Watt LED Flashlight is an indispensable tool for multiple purposes. 1) You can use it to view corals and stomatellas, mysis shrimp, amphipods, bristelworms and other creatures moving around your tank at night when the main tank light is turned off. 2) For brilliant illumination and the fluorescing of corals for photography. 3) To assist feeding corals at night—illuminate the coral you're feeding without causing the polyps to close up. Plus, there is a strobe to create lighting mode!

We specialize in a couple areas. We're more oriented toward saltwater than freshwater and we carry a very wide selection of replacement parts.

Conversely, if you want to talk about the latest John Grisham novel we're happy to oblige. Keep in mind, we only work Monday through Friday from 8AM to 4PM and we break for lunch from 11:30 to 12:30 (we're on Arizona time).

Azurelite Used at Iran Aquarium to inspect corals

The Iran Aquarium uses the Azurelite to inspect corals at their beautiful store in Tehran, Iran.  The Azurelite easily finds any problem with a coral and also provides a great means of photographing corals by increasing the florescence of the coral which provides great color.

UK client’s reef tank shows amazing development

UK client’s reef tank shows amazing development under Orphek Atlantik LEDs

Our client began his new build back in June of 2013.  He spent much time researching many different brands of lighting for his tank and chose Orphek Atlantik LED lighting to hang above his tank.  Nigel has sent us photos during the early stages of his build and the photos below are just a sampling of the many pictures he has taken.

Nigel has made a comment about his Atlantiks in a popular forum.



That's very good value based on what I can see, they blow AIs and Radions away. It must be the sheer number of LEDs.
I think you struggle to get an efficient LED with a high output and good punch without the extra wattage. They are more efficient than halides obviously. 170w is very good.



We would like to thank Nigel for sharing his photos with us and wish him the best of luck with his gorgeous reef tank.  To follow Nigel’s complete build process, please click the link below.
