Thanks

Love the colour of them, they are good lights but powerful. A 150 would be good for that size tank. I have a 350 over my 34g cube but its a bit to powerful. Lost a few corals when I switched and I can only run it at 50%

got the kessell 150 ocean blue on my CAD 22 gal LPS/Zoa tank, its a real nice blue and nice light didnt loose any zoas when i switched from T5s it does produce more heat thank my other LEDs so i use a fan on the tank. good tank coverage

I saw several Kessil at MACNA last year and personally I didn't like them. I thought they produced a washed out blue light, and had a really fast flicker. They were a memorable "don't like" for me although several people I talked to there who viewed the same setups said they really liked them, so I guess it is personal preference.

I use an A150 Ocean Blue on my 4 gallon pico now. It' the third light I've had over this tank and the 6th LED light I've had for a pico tank and it's by far my favourite. The corals under it pop, and it allowed a badly bleached brain coral to recover to show-stopping again.

Toobad jl doesnt have a demo display. Best is to
See one yourself. Pm ethan.c and maybe see one
In person. I was sold after viewing it.
To accenuate shimmer, you do need lotsa
Surface motion from wavemakers.

Love mine! I've been running 3 x A150 Ocean Blue's on my tank (96" x 16" x 16") for a year and they grow and color up everything nicely. On a 24" cube I'd probably go with an A350W just for the ability to control the color temperature(or an A360 which can be hooked up to an Apex) but an A150 would definitely also be enough.

Jls has a 150 on their BC29 right now (formally a Radion). Tank is immediately on your right when you enter livestock area

The 350w is the one needed for 24inches square....not the 150 model which j&l has on display. Reefbuilders.com gave it led of the year this year.

I have an A350 (non wide) on a 24" cube. I really like it, but the light is very blue. It also is extremely powerful. I use mine at about 50%. PAR measurements at 100% are very high, I posted the numbers a while ago in my tank thread.

I'm really hoping one day Kessil releases a new A350 with some added warm whites/longer wavelength LEDs.
