I'm sure this has already been answered has anyone else ran into issues with they're kessil light mounts touching water surface? I ysed the plastic mount it came with to raise the light to stop it from happening but it's still annoying and makes the mount less stable.

I just installed an AP700 today.. coming from 1x360we and 2x160s..
i also got a PMK.. tank is: DT dimensions: 68g 35.5(l) x 19.5(w) x 21.5(h) light is like 5" above the water... have it set at 80%.. put a new monticap in there where the reading is 250+ Par.. moved my susnet monti off the bottom which was not getting enough light with my previous setup.. and those were at 85 intensity.. with the sunset monti directly below the a360 and at 85%, the par was a barely 200.. i should of maxed out the intensity on the pucks but was too excited for the ap700.. having the pmk is so helpful in coral placement.. like just eyeballing it seems so sketchy.. at least now i know the par reading of where i have stuff.. |

Only 240 PAR at 8"
Quote:
Read the first 36 pages and finally started at the end working back and saw your PAR numbers. Find 240 surprisingly low for 8" deep. Better than my Hydras ~200. Likely much better dispersion as well. But two questions: a) are you running a lense? b) if you have SPS dominant, how they liking it?

Anyone having success on smaller tanks ~50g? Only saw one reply to my last note. I’m running it at 12” above. 35% peak.

Mixed reef. Sps doing pretty well. Think they could use a little more light but worried about some of the Lps and others. May inch it up a little soon. I still have plenty of room to turn the intensity up. |

Hi,
I didnt see where anyone had a fix for the flicker question. Early yesterday morning (9 am) the light flickered on and off. It's set to go on at 11 am. This is still with the light going off randomly in the day. It doesnt seem to be tied with color changing/spectrum. I work at home so I see this happening. I do not think it's happened at night after 7 pm for some reason. So most people with these lights that do not work at home will have no idea if this is happening. I'll contact kessil, unless someone knows how to fix it. Thanks |

Boochika, are you home about all day to see if it flickers and when? My tank is right by my desk. It happens in 'spurts' of days that it happens, many days on end it doesnt (from what I can tell, and I'd see 90% of it since I'm right next to it). I'll check the times it happens again, but I"m pretty sure its not at lighting changes. If I didnt work at home I'd say it never happens at all. The part that is bothersome more is when I saw it flash on then off when it was in night mode. |

What's the incoming voltage to the house? I had an issue with one of my AP700's not turning on or working. I thought I had a bad light, come to find out, my voltage was really low. My apex was giving me voltage errors, so I had the local utility company come and check the mains, sure enough the voltage was only 107 and below. After some work at the local substation, the voltage is back to normal (for the most part, still a little high in the mornings).
As I was prepared to ship the light back to Kessil, I noticed the voltage adjustment(s) on the driver. So I decided to turn it all the way down, then turn two points clockwise, plugged everything in and it worked. Somehow the voltage adjustment was set too high on the driver and that's why it didn't power on. The drivers are adjustable from 100v to 217v (or something close to that?), so it could be the reason why these lights flicker? Not enough voltage depending on the adjustment. Worth a look? Good luck and keep us posted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've had mine flicker off during the day but haven't noticed it flicker on. I also work from home and have 2 AP700's over the tank by my desk.
The flickering off doesn't happen all the time. Remapping the lights in the app seems to temporarily fix the issue for me. Sometimes lol!

Quite a few people including myself have experienced this. Mine will actually turn on briefly for about 2 seconds on the odd occasion in the morning when it is supposed to be off. I spoke with the Kessil reps at Reefapalooza Orlando and they had no solutions or suggestions other than to return the light (which was only a couple weeks old when I first noticed this). I contacted Kessil and they seem to be aware of the problem, but could also offer no solutions. Hopefully they are working on a fix for this with a firmware update.

MIne is not at the light color changes. It might be a big deal though to the corals etc to have it flash on in middle of night. That I dont know. I had it happen for long periods of time, going off, I had to send it back. I'm thinking/guessing could be a heating issue, which might not be good for the light long term. I'll ask Kessil whats going on before my warranty ends.
