For lighting I’m gonna go with 8 ATI Straton led fixtures, maybe add two 48” t5 hybrid fixtures not sure yet.

Kessil 500’s are here!

Went different direction with lighting, going with Kessil 500’s, XR30blues, and Reefbrites.

Shimmer, color, spread, intensity, and pop.

Or

Xr30’s with a500x’s??

After mixing and matching my top 4 led fixtures all week... radions,kessil, reefbrite, and T5’s

I have finally come to a final final lighting option..lol smh

Kessil hit all the marks on my system.

#1. Shimmer
#2. Color
#3. Ease of use
#4. Mounting options
#5. Intensity
#6. Cost effective


12 Kessil A500X cannon’s spaced equally 24” apart for even coverage. Installed in ceiling like recessed lighting for the cleanest look.

I will use a mix of the 35 degree and 55 degree lenses. Maybe 55’s in middle row for spread and 35’s on outer edge.

Thanks, no news yet. Figuring out new fish room options at the moment. What room to use and how much space will I actually need at a stand still.
