Must have skipped through the thread. Lol. I've got it now and absolutely love itI couldn't afford it either but BRS has a sale now so couldn't resist[emoji48]
I have the 36 inch fixture over a 40 Breeder, 8 inches off the waters surfaceYea, was reading through them ang got to it. How high are you running it? I have 2 A360WEs over a 150 to add to it
Ok, thanks. Have my 360s at 8.5" now but the tank is 30" deep so I think I'm losing a lot of PAR down lower so I may lower them a little. Going to borrow a meter from a friend to make sure it's better once the t5 fixture gets here.I have the 36 inch fixture over a 40 Breeder, 8 inches off the waters surface
6 to 7 inches would probably serve you betterOk, thanks. Have my 360s at 8.5" now but the tank is 30" deep so I think I'm losing a lot of PAR down lower so I may lower them a little. Going to borrow a meter from a friend to make sure it's better once the t5 fixture gets here.
No problem! Keep em dialed down low until you get your par meterSweet. I am new to leds this time so still trying to figure it all out.
Thank you!!

It's 4' long x 18" wide x 30" deep. I got the 48" t5 to cover it better. I'll try your suggestion tooOn a 30" depth, you going to need them at 5". You're going to gain about 35% PAR moving from 8.5" to 5". Is the 150g 5x2x2? There's no way to cover that with two A360WEs; three with the T5s will get you in the range though.

That's a good idea. Guess I'll have to head over to the trade forum and start fishing! [emoji1]OK, that is typical 115g dimensions but the 30" depth is tough regardless. Definitely gotta bring the lights down to overcome the depth but the narrower width of your tank will actually help in that regard. Three of the A360Ns (will work well with the width) would actually work well on that; perhaps down the road you could swap lights with somebody and add a third if you need the additional PAR.
thank you for sharing!Another question I get asked alot, is what schedule should I be running my kessil's at. While there is no one perfect schedule, i'd like everyone to share their schedule as a guide to new users or those looking to adjust their schedules.
Mine is as follows
Lights come on at 10AM at Deep Ocean Blue (0% Color) 10% Intensity
Ramp up to 11 AM Ocean Blue 3 (Approx 30% color) 20% intensity
Ramp up to 12 Noon Ocean Blue 4 (Approx 50% color) 60% intensity
Stays there until 5 pm when it starts ramping down to
7PM Ocean blue 3 (approx 30% color) 20% intensity
Then off at 8PM
Thanks Madweazl, the Phoenix 14k were close too. Hopefully Kessil will build a Radium / Super A profile.
Absolutely you can. There are many very successful tanks out there lit strictly by kessils or leds. Most are lps dominant or a mixed reef with a few sps. When you start getting heavy into sps shading becomes an issue. So you either have to supplement with t5s or get more kessil modules and space them close together.I'm seeing a lot of kessil hybrids now....can you keep a successful reef system with kessil only lighting fixtures??????
