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.

I meant to say in the above that a 350 would be good not a 150 for a 24" oops sorry for the typo

I have the 350 over my 65 gallon hex, so the tank is very deep and I'm really happy with it! Great light, I run it at 100% but didn't start that high...went from 150w MH and t5ho to this light and I'm happy with the switch!
