Anemone & Kessil A360

[potatocouch]

It's a long shot but I thought I try.

For those that own Anemone and Kessil A360, what is your max color and max intensity?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

At full power 12 inches from the light you should get about 500 par nems are in the 150+ zone for the most part.
Color is irrelevant esp w kessil as blue only still has other colors in it. It has a broad frequency range.

You can use a Lux meter to set the light.
Take lux and devide by 60. And no most of the apps aren't that great.

Thanks @saltyfilmfolks ! It's been a while, I hope you're well.

I don't intend to purchase Lux meter for PAR measurement; I just want to get rough figure, doesn't have to be accurate.

So what you're saying is Kessil A360 at 100% intensity (color is irrelevant) and 12 inches away, PAR should be 500 (approx) ?

Yes. That's def why I gave that estimate to you. Now you can also look fro 360 par charts or specs on that light to confirm. penetration too. Now hopefully you have a better way to guesstimate.

I've been good! Hope the tanks are doing well!

I run my Kessil A360WE roughly 10" over a 15" deep tank. Ramping up and back down throughout the day. Intensity between 5% to 40% and color between 0-30% for 11 hours. Never had any issues with my BTAs. Great color and they bubble up no problem.

Thanks @saltyfilmfolks @Highgrade

@saltyfilmfolks do you mind me asking what's your total lighting duration and what are you keeping in the tank?

@Highgrade what do you keep in your tank?

I have several tanks but the one running the A360WE is a IM10 Fusion with two BTAs,Zoas, RedRobin Acro,Miyagi tort, Cali tort,Vivids purple monti cap,Duncan's,Favia and acans. Small Onyx clown pair,watchman goby,pistol shrimp,scarlet reef hermits,Astrea,turbo and margarita snails. It's pretty stocked.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

I have 2 tanks.
30 gal is nem acros squamosa clam zoas sps
55 is gorg acros zoa lps nps shroom zoa paly Xenia

I have a six hour peak lighting. My lights come on at 6 go off at ten.

The 30 cube is about 6 to 700 par at the top.

Here is a great video that BRS recorded concerning PAR for the Kessil a360 and tank dimensions of 24" x 24".

I would also like some advice on Kessil A360we settings color and intensity schedule for a LPs and anemone tank
