kessil

Hey everyone! Finally saved up for my dream aquarium and made the purchase. After anxiously waiting for 3 weeks it finally shipped last Friday. Little bit of background. I broke down my 75 gallon and sold it so I could put the 350 in its place. I set up a 20 long and cycled it before doing...

Good afternoon all. I have a Kessil A360X with a wifi dongle included. I purchased earlier this year but do not have original box, it will be shipped carefully and wrapped with bubble wrap. The wifi dongle has the QR code which is required to pair your phone and light together. Asking for $260...

Hello fellow Reefers. I am looking for some lighting suggestion for a 120gal 48x24x24 mixed reef. I plan on keeping softies and LPS. I might add a few SPS down the road. I currently run 4 T12 VHO super Actinic bulbs but I'm thinking about switching to 4-T5 bulbs. If I go with T5's do I...

Hi, I am in the process of buying all the gear for my first tank (neptunian m150 so nearly 5 ft long around 130g) and I can’t decide whether to go t5 hybrid or just get enough decent LEDs. The newest Kessils look really good but I don’t know enough yet to decide whether they would do the job as...

Hi all, Kessil owners/lovers - help me out! :) I'm considering upgrading my lighting to move from softie success to LPS and eventually SPS. I had another post here recently and got some great info, but now I need to approach it from a different angle. Before I go and replace my 3 Kessil...

Hi all, My tank is 2 years old - I feel like I'm now moving out of the "novice" phase and am looking to push harder into LPS and then SPS. (As you can see I can grow softies like crazy lol!) Lighting is what I'm focusing on now. I'm looking to get my PAR levels up to ~200 mid-tank; ~100 at...

Finally back. Hello all. I have been out of the hobby since 2007. In these 13 years a lot has changed. Back then I had a 72 bowfront and I was rocking two 250 Metal Halides and fighting the heat associated with those lights all the time. I had a wet/dry filter and I didn't even have a...

Hi, I have been doing a lot of research for my build and after all that I have decided to go with the kessil a360x with my aquatic life hybrid. There is one BIG problem now. I have already spent thousands on apex and will not buy a light that can not be controlled with the apex. kessil or...

Hey all, I am restarting my small fuge (17G in one section of my sump in a 125G system). I have some Chaeto ordered, and I own a Kessil H380, it is 14" above the sump. I'm looking for suggestions wrt what type of acclimation period you would use so I don't burn the Chaeto?

Like many other setups, my kessils are on top of the tank, right smack in the middle. This means half the light is at an angle towards the front of the tank and the the acros either need to be in the rear half or their color and growth will be facing away from the display glass panel. Kessil...

Does anyone know what cord I need to update my ap700? I still have a warranty but I need to update my ap700 before we can rule out the software being an issue. I do not have any cords besides the power adapter

Hi! I think everyone can use a diversion now and this is a great hobby for it. Like many others, I’ve been a lurker for years and thought it was time I shared my build experience. I started in this hobby about 20 years ago with a 65g. Over the years I upgraded to various tanks when I could...

Hey Everyone! I tried to start a build thread with this as I was working through some things I got caught up in the mix. I wanted to share my build with the community here and also hopefully get some feedback and new ideas as we go. A little background on this tank: I purchased for $50 on FB...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to see what your DIY light mounts look like. I have two brand new Kessil A360we’s and need to figure out a good way to mount them. I have studs right behind the ends of my 75 gallon and would like to work with those and mount something off the wall. Need some...

Hello all! I finally decided to upgrade from 2 Kessil A160wes to 2 A360wes. I have these on a standard size Marineland 75gallon. My A160s light schedule would only peak to 55% intensity for a 6 hour period then ramp down. I was wondering if I should run my new A360wes on the same schedule or...
