Absolutely not needed in that size tank.

I will run AP700s on my 190 and I'll run 3 for full coverage.

I'm going to be purchasing a reefer 250 this year and I'm really in a dilemma about which lights to get. Mostly going to be running SPS.
The options are:

2x Kessil 160we
2x Kessil 360we
1x NanoBox Quad

Would 2x160 be enough and would 2x360we be overkill? Anyone with a reefer 250 running something similar?

pelphrey · 11/07/2016, 05:38 PM

In running a reefer 250 with two Kessil a160's on the a series mounts. I'm not coral heavy yet, i am satisfied. If you have the funds go the the 360's, or the ap700!

I haven't been able to update my build thread or YouTube, but it's coming soon!

vhuang168 · 11/07/2016, 05:40 PM

A Reefer 250 is in my plans for a smaller softie/nem tank in the house. My light of choice will be the AP700. I running 1 right now over a 40b n will run 3 over my soon to be ready 190.

I have three Kessil 360s in connected in series to the spectral controller. The third light appears more white then the first two. Has anyone experienced this. I have them connected with new 3.5 mm Griffen audio wires.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Have you tried swapping the cables to see if the problem follows the cable?

Where can I buy the plastic stepper and screws for the kessil goose neck?

drtrash · 11/11/2016, 10:13 AM

Any connectivity issues with ap700? All these wifi units make me nervous

I connect mine through my router, it works great.

Anyone ever try to connect or have opinion on connecting my a160w to my a360we which is connected to a kessil controller using 1 program setting for both lights despite being different models with different power and intensity

Morty4U2 · 11/18/2016, 06:11 PM

I am running a Kessil 360we over a 5 gallon tank with SPS and Acans. What is a good setting for the intensity and color. It is 6 inches above the water, evrything is coloring just fine. I don't want to burn the corals out. I have the Acans at the bottom and various levels of the tank. The SPS are all towards the top, mostly on a frag rack. Any suggestions?

ReefLover1230 · 11/18/2016, 08:10 PM

So happy I found this thread. Picking up my kessil 160 soon

I am seeing some good growth in my SPS the last few days since I put my Kessil on.

It should work just fine, just a signal to tell the lights what to do. I dont know if they will color match perfectly, but obviously the intensity will be different.

I have 2 on my 40B. I am early on with the lights but I am getting great colors and growth seems to following suit. I really like them.

So do you think 1 will not be enough over my 40B?

BRS changed from LED to T5s and their nem tank looks much improved. Does anyone have photos of nems under kessil for an extended period of time? I've had some under my 160 for over a year and wanted to know if the 360 would improve my nems or just look the same? I am upgrading currently and bought a T5 coralife because I was worried:

This is a great topic. I have 2 kessil 360's over my 60G mixed reef. I am currently having a problem with my acros being brown. They blue tips and growing good but the rest of it is all brown. Im currently ramping them up to 85% intensity at highest day and 70% color at highest day. The acros are about 14 inches from the lights. Im not too sure if their not getting enough light or night. These settings seem to be in the sweet spot so it could be nutrient levels in the tank but just wanted to hear other thoughts. Thanks guys.

Are you sure they are not brown with blue tips originally? If it is growing n has growth tips then light levels should be ok.

I have multiple under AI with no issues, just switched over to kessil and I anticipate only good things. I saw the BRS pics and wonder what happened that was a train wreck of condition, hope it happened really fast because a store with there resources should never grow frankenanemones like that.

They used to be green when I got them. They slowly brown out and now stay brown but grow good. I kept my intensity at 85 at the peak day and just put the color down to 35 at the peak and see if they react good to that.
