What are you running your kessils at?
Just thought I'd put some feelers out there...
What size tank, types of lights and how much blue/intensity..... Controller ect... I've got a 48x20x20 with 2x kessil a360we running 80% blue & I found at 90% intensity it's to bright. I had it at 60 and it wasn't enough.... So I'm at 70 now I think for a bit to see if the tank is happier than at 90..... Mine is run through an apex.. I'll check tomorrow how long my cycle is.... |

36x18x24 running 2 a360we on Apex. About 8 inches off the surface.
INT : 9am to noon, 10% to 90%. Noon to 2pm, 90% to 80%. 2pm to 11pm, 80% to 10%. Colour : 9am to noon, 0% to 100%. Noon to 11pm, 100% to 0%. SPS love it. I'm even considering adding a couple T5's. Last edited by WarDog; 07-09-2015 at 08:31 PM. |

On my 4' I've got 2 of the 360we and I am looking at adding just a bit more light.... T5 24" 4x bulb..... Or another kessil.....
It's a tough call.... If I could find an ATI T5 2ft dimable in the exchange it would be easy.... But I think a kessil will be easier to find.... I say T5 just for the non-directional light.... I guess a MH on a goose neck would work also.... Hmmmm |

On my reef the tank is 36x24x14 I run 1 kessil a360we %100 blue %12 intensity at 9am , turn it up at 11am to %100 blue %100 intensity up till 7pm then turn it down to %100 blue %12 intensity till 11;30 pm . The light is 7 inches from the water level . All my corals love it have a few sps , a ton of lps, , 20 or so zoanthid types , and a few rfa and a bubble tip nem .

How do you find the light coverage with one kessil over a 36" long tank? I've been thinking of upgrading my 20 long to a 40g breeder tank and am pondering lighting. The retailers I've looked at spec out the A360we at 24" light coverage and I'm a little leery as other LEDs I've owned didn't even come close to the stated light coverage area.
