Yep, Kessil a360w. They been in the tank since last April or may. They are amazing lights and produce some awesome coral colors.

The brain box of the tank

Lock line. I'm not a big fan with an open top and the amount of salt creep they produce. They do give you split flow

Sump with the new kessil a150w. Good light.

I am really debating buying a Kessil a360w...you said it was hard to tune with the Apex though, can you do a ramp up/down with the VDM box hooked up to the Kessil?

 

[mariobrothersleeve]

Yes. I undertook the apex and new kessil all at once. The t5's were just on and off. The ramp up and down, day time and night time are all a progress to see what works. Intensity and color are the 2 that you blend to achieve coloration. I'm glad I did it, I just didn't understand the format they were lookin g for.

 

[mariobrothersleeve]

You need a separate night light if you plan on running lights 24/7 because they only ramp down to 12 percent and it is apparently to much light for the corals.

 

[Marinne13]

I figured they wouldn't do a moon light, was just curious if they had a ramp up and down like the AI's, Radions and Reefbreeders

I am only going to setup my 29 biocube when I move which is in 3 weeks (way sooner than we expected)...not sure if I want to use the hood or not but the Kessil looks really sleek compared to most

 

[mariobrothersleeve]

The reason I went with kessil is because of their size and time new design. I am always in the tank for something, fragging or general maintnance. The lights are so small and allow for plenty of clearance and for the open top, I couldn't be happier.

Dosing. Can't believe it take over 100 mls of alk a day to maintain.... so much for w/c only...
