This thread is for my new 'big' tank, a custom 68g build I commissioned through John at Advanced Acrylics. It is roughly 60% larger in its dimensions than my other custom acrylic Zoa Garden tank. Tank is 30x26x20 and it holds approx 68g at water level. Tank: Custom Advanced Acrylics AIO...

Im trying to determine the best height for my Ap9x on a 36" shallow reef 36L x24W x16 Deep. Just softs and eventually a clam. I currently have the light mounted in the center at 12" high but i feel like the edges dont get the light they need. Also with the light at 30% intensity this seems to be...

Hi everyone, Does anyone run successfully a glass covered tank, using clear glass and LED lighting hanging over the glass? I run a tank with little over 4 foot with 3 Kessil A360X and tank is covered with Opti white glass. I have a few SPS but growth is not optimal. I was wondering if this...

Hey everyone, I need some help and was hoping someone can help me out. I have a 10 gallon aqueon tank (from petco) and I intend to make that an anemone tank, my struggle is deciding which light is best, would a Kessil a80 be enough or should I go with a Kessil 160? I’m unsure if the Kessil a80...

Today i am offically starting my Nuvo 20 Build thread. i have been waiting to start this tank for about a two years and the time has finally come. The goal of this tank is to be a mixed reef tank catering to multiple types of coral and about 3-4 fish. As you can see we are rocking a ton of...

I am wanting to start my refugium on my Reefer 750 and am wondering if I should go with the Kessil H80 or H180 Tina Flora to grow chaeto. Any recommendations on determining what size light I should go with? thanks!

Hi All, I am having some trouble figuring out how to setup/program my Neptune Systems VDM to control my two Kessil A 160WE lights. I have the lights plugged into the VDM module, but the lights keep blinking on and off. I searched all over online to try and find instructions but did not find...

Hi all, I’m hoping you could comment. I’m moving from a 60 cm cube tank (around 2’x2’x2’) to a new custom build. The new tank will be 100 cm wide by 100 cm long by 62 cm high. Currently I’m running one Kessil AP9X with maximum intensity of 67% at tank’s high noon. Do you think this fixture at...

Hello All, I've always wanted to make a thread to track the journey of a new build but never had anything cool enough to show off until now!!!! I would like to introduce you to the 100% custom drop off. The tank was finally delivered the beginning of Dec. after a few months of waiting and...

Hello all. I currently am cycling a JBJ 28G nanocube and was looking for some opinions. I am currently using the LED hood light that came with it, but I have a Kessil Tuna Blue and was wondering which one you guys recommend to use? One one hand the hood also provides a lid and a strong reliable...

After 18 months, I think my 4' SPS dominated mixed reef is finally coming into it's own. Frags are all encrusting and beginning to grow and it's been months since I have seen any RTN or STN. Lighting is 3 Kessil A360x and I was considering adding a 4th Kessil down the road, but was told I would...

Hi all, I have a Kessil AP9X on my mixed reef. So far very happy with it. However, I have a moonlight question. Kessil built in options are red and blue; I’ve been using the red just to have a different, cool visual difference at night vs the more bluish look during the daytime. But health of...

$4000 for everything. Local is 28560. Moving to Texas and decided not to put up with the headache of moving these two tanks so selling them both as a package deal. 180 is a marineland with a marineland stand for the lifetime warranty. Tank was bought in June 2020 and is in excellent condition...

Hi, I’m hoping for some opinions on whether or not I should add supplemental T5’s to my 2’x2’x2’ (approximately) cube mixed reef. Total volume of around 202 L. I’m currently using a single Kessil AP9X mounted about 10” above the water. Light program is based on BRS suggestions for an AP9X on...

Starting a new 48" X 22" tank with a target of keeping a mixed reef. I already have an APEX and would like to use that for controlling the lights versus another application. Hoping I can get some expert advice/opinions on good options. My current thought is 2x A360X Tuna Blue with a 48"...

I want to buy kessil a160 tuna blue, who sell?

I will be posting photos, updates, perhaps video updates on my most recent reef build. This is an Innovative Marine 200 EXT Peninsula set up as against a wall on one of the long sides. This puts the tank right up next to the wall while still allowing free access to all of the plumbing on the end...

Hey All, I have a like brand new Kessil A500X that I don't need. I mounted this on my small 40 cube and ran it for about 2 weeks and took PAR readings from it. It was mounted on a Kessil Mounting Arm and has never had anything on it as far as salt, dust, etc. It is in 10/10 shape. It has a...

I’ve had this a360x for a while and recently we changed internet providers and our wifi changed and now I can’t reconnect to the app and the light on my dongle is orange.
