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.

A150w Ocean Blue. I have it over my Squamosa clam and some sps (Purple Valida) and I don't have it on any controller so I'm assuming its running at 100%??? Please correct me if I'm wrong on this. Is 100% the fallback setting on older Kessils?
Its on for over 12 hours a day usually. Clam seems very happy to be blasted with light and the Purple Valida coloured up extremely quickly (less than a week after being most brown with purple tips from being on the bottom of seller's tank). The 150 is a low powered LED compared to newer Kessil models, and I probably wouldn't use those newer versions in the same way in terms of intensity and duration. Also, my experience has been that it's almost impossible to have too much light for clams and Purple Validas (the more light, the better the colour). Anthony

My tank is 24"x24"x12" deep and I run my A360w at 65%.
It makes a pretty big difference if you have the "w" (wide beam) model or the "n" (narrow beam) model. The latter obviously puts out more light intensity, but over a smaller area.
