I recently started putting together a 20 gallon reef tank and wanted to find pleasing, affordable, reliable lighting without the disco ball effect.
After considering a plethora of options, I decided the Kessil shimmer was simply too seductive, however the A360X was too pricey. It got me...
Right now I have a prime lighting my 15 Nuvo fusion cube tank and it’s growing corals really well, but I am playing with the idea of adding more light to get a better coverage and get rid of some shadows. I was thinking about using a kessil a80 to do this and to also give the shimmer I like. I...
I'm getting either the Eshopps Deskmate 5G or the Waterbox 10 G as a coral quarantine for easy SPS:
Pocillopora (Cauliflower)
Seriatopora (Bird's nest)
Stylophora (Cat's Paw)
Montipora Digitata (Finger)
Acropora Yongei (Bali Green Slimer)
Do I need a a Kessil A160WE 40w, or can I get away with...
Hi y’all, I have a A80 Tuna Blue sitting around and I’m looking into using it for macroalgae. I don’t think there should be an issue if I pump the whites all the way up, considering it’s going on a 7 gallon. Anyone have experience using this light for macroalgae? Thanks!
Hey all, I just purchased an a80 to light my fluval evo 13.5 tank. Was thinking of just for softies and maybe lps. Would adding another a80 down the road be sufficient for growing any LPs and some montipora? It’s hard to find par spread diagrams on these and I’m just curious what the par and...
These two lights have been great for me. I just recently upgrade. They have been run on around 70%. I have grown every type of coral including SPS and even anemones under them. They are adjustable to your liking. You can make it super blue to make the colors pop or keep it white.
These can be...
Tank is a Fluval Spec III 2.6g (10.8" L -- 11.8" W -- 8.7" H)
I took these readings with an Apogee MQ-510 that I borrowed from the local fishie store.
This light seems to be a bit controversial. Some love it - others hate it.
My opinion? It's an amazing light that gets a bad rep from people who...
Just have this Kessil A80 laying around not being used much. Fiance just uses it for extra light on her desk sometimes currently lol. So figured we'd let someone else get some use out of it.
Comes with flex mount and power supply.

Hello!
Selling my Kessil A80 Tuna Blue. Asking $50 shipped. I bought the fixture used 1 year ago, then used it myself at about 50% power for the past year. It's in good working condition, but the dimming curve on the intensity is a little weird in that the light kicks on once the intensity knob...
Hi,
I am starting up this build thread to document my “retired” (A.K.A – never used for intended purposes) Waterbox Cube 7 quarantine tank.
Story goes a little something like this…

Hello, looking to buy a single kessil a80 with mount. Will consider buying a controller with it if you have it included, or a nanobox, if any are out there. Will be going on a nano build!
Hey R2R, this is my first pico tank! I'm very excited to get this guy running along with corals. I plan on keeping some zoas, micro lords, blastos, and any other LPS or softie that catches my eye. This tank has been a few years in the making (and convincing) but finally, it's ready to get...
Okay, so I have a Lifeguard 7 gallon slant front nano reef I've just started. I'm looking at replacing the Lifeguard Aquatics LED light that came with the tank with a Kessil A80, gooseneck and Spectral Controller for ease of use and the awesome shimmer effect. My questions are this... 1) Does...

Started in July 2017, my 20 gal stepdown reef is thriving with lots of small fish and some really nice frags! I have a pair of bangii cardinals, sharknose goby, red scooter blenny, Catalina Goby, hi-finned redbanded shrimp goby and the smallest yellow tang I’ve ever seen! For filtration I have...

Ok. I know what your thinking, "Another 40b ?" Well me too. I've had nano tanks recenty and a 50 tall some time ago. I just always wanted a 40b. I really like the dimensions. Lots of depth not too tall and 3ft long. Well now I have one and decided to start a thread. Mostly for the journal...
So I have a thread going already in the Nano category. Needed to create one here for the Red Sea Manx Nano contest. Here is the link to my build.

About a month ago I bought the Kessil A80 for my 29G planned LPS dominant tank. I am starting to load the tank with more coral each week. Does anyone have a good schedule for lighting to promote growth? Thanks!
Have a reef day!
