Contact Kessil about their latest software update not sure if it's out yet. I tested it out last year, and my light has been flawless since.

I got the AP700 for my 48"x18"x30" 110G tank. I think it will give sufficient coverage as I am not really into SPS. I might get one or two but can always have these higher up and towards the center of the tank.
My setup is not built yet, but I was playing around with the light and am very impressed so far with the programmability, effects and color control. I am returning after a 20 year hiatus and previously used MH lighting, so really like the Kissell shimmer. |

My phone broke so i got a new one. Downloaded the app and cannot link it to my kessil ap700. It just doesnt see it. I try to backup schedule from cloud but theres nothing there. How can i link it and get my lighting schedule? Im worried to "add lamp" because i dont want it to reset the light and lose my schedule. Anyone know what i should do?

Did you ever sign into the app and back up your schedule before you lost your phone? If so, then you can sign in again and pull it down from the cloud. If the backup exists in the cloud, then you should relink the light, as if you were setting it up for the first time and load the schedule. In theory, you should be able to reset the lights and load a saved schedule/program.

Does anyone run a succesful Acropora tank, using the AP700s only?
Can't seem to find anyone to speak up. And I hope someone does. If you do, please show pics of your setup, mount height, and light schedule. Pllleeeaasse! Before I force myself to buy t5s to supplement.

Dang. Guess everyone sold theirs or added t5s.
My going theory here is that in order to get sufficient (overall light) for acros, the AP700 needs to be placed 5-7 inches from water line as Kessil instructs. And if you want to go by par charts published by BRS and Dana Riddle, you can argue the unit must max at 100%. BUTT!!! A big BUTT...... At these levels and height, the AP700 will fry all corals if placed anywhere between both pucks. Regardless of how low the par measures(<150) at that spot. Solution: You must raise the fixture/turn down max% to a level where the fixture alone is insufficient for sps. So ppl end up adding a less harsh T5.

Buy T5s, thats what I did. Had two ap700 on my 180 gal, running calcium reactor did not help. SPS are not happy, but monties. After a year one ap700 just died, no good resolution provided by Kessil team but to buy a new lamp from them again with discount. Was very disappointed, decided to go with t5s and the left workable ap700. Would never buy kessil brand again. Sorry kessil but simply cant afford buying 1k lamp every year.

Open to advice. I have sps dominant 48x24x24 tank. Large sps colonies with shading issues.
Looking to add Aquatic life t5 fixture (4 x54w bulb) and perhaps three Kessil a360x. Enough for sps tank?

I contacted Kessil and they sent me new reflectors. I had to install them, but my light was 3+ years old. |

Hello All, I just noticed the blue wifi light on the side of my AP700 is blinking continuously. I first noticed it last night and its still on and blinking as of this morning. The AP700 seems to be working fine, but I dont know if this light should be constantly blinking. I dont remember it ever doing that. Is yours always on? Or any idea what the problem is?

Did you have a power outage? Can you connect via the app? I've noticed that it does this after a power outage, but not always.
