we have one over a 29 nano cube. fills it well. If your planning on a bigger tank i would probably say one for every 12-18" width for best coverage.

I have 2 of the 15k on my 36x18x24 and I they cover 30" atleast very well from 5" above the tank. They are a bit bluer than I anticipated for a 15k but these are still an amazing product that create beautiful light. Shimmer like no other light that I have seen. Very happy with them and awaiting the arrival of tunas for a larger tank. Customer service @ Kessil is also A++. I Highly recommend these lights!

So for a 32x32 footprint tank I would need 2 or 4? Keep in mind the tank is SPS dominated...

Check the RC thread about the Kessil. They even have some Par numbers.

Cheers,

I am very interested in these but I have a couple questions/concerns. I keep hearing people talk about how great the shimmer is. Is the shimmer the same as a MH, weaker, or stronger? I haven't seen too many LED fixtures in person but the ones I did see llooked similar to a strobe light. I would like to avoid anything like that. I find the shimmer of a MH to be alright, even appealing, but anything more I find extremely unpleasant.

The shimmer is defintly of mh caliber. Maybe stronger , I would see one in person before I made a decision if I were you.

the amount of shimmer is situational. The more surface agitation your tank has the more shimmer your going to get because the light is refracting off of the waves.

Since the LEDs are arranged into a single point source on these lights, they produce a more natural shimmer very similar to metal halide. No disco effect that you can see with some LED fixtures.

15 Sold! We shouldn't have any problem reaching the 40 mark at this rate.
