I was wondering if I should purchase 2 kessil a160we or 1 kessil a500x for my new IM 112 ext? Any advice very much appreciated!

I'm running 1x kessil a500x with reefdelight ultrabars as the supporting lights to get ready for sps.

i par tested with just the kessils alone i was able to get 300 to 250 in the 20x20in middle of the tank and 85 in the corners of the tank

this was 50percent color 100 percent intensity 100 uv 10red 10 green.

so if youre route is a mixed reef with some sps or just lps tank i would just go 1 kessil.

This is gorgeous. Do you have details on how you built the lighting assembly?

What’s the name of the bracket you used for the lights?
