I loved my kessil a360x. I had two supplemented with a reefbrite strip and the color and growth was amazing. However it unfortunately just died after 4 years and I'm not super excited about the repair and replacement options through kessil.
I'm not sure what I'm going to go with next
I second that. I'm doing a tank build now and the Kessil A500x is my top contender right now. Really want that shimmer. Used to run dual 175w Ushio halides and dual 110w Actinic T8 Fluorescents, back in the day(2003ish)on my 75 gal sps dominant tank.I'd like to see more tank pics with the A500x...supposed to be a halide competitor...right now - I like the 12k look of my gen 4 radions,though.
I have been happy with my AI prime I use on my nano tanks my main tank has orphek Atlantik v4 that have now been upgraded with the icon internals. Love the AI on a small tank it's in my opinion the best light for a nano reef. Now to my love hate relationship with the orphek. It is a great light makes the tank look amazing but the set up on the light before the upgrade was horrible. The fact that a light at this price needed a gateway sold separately to set up is terrible. I had a terrible time getting it to find the gateway and the app was not much better. But once it's set I have never had to worry about it anymore. The upgrade was a big improvement but at $200 I really should have just saved the money for the next light. ( it was still working great was just more of an I want to see the difference type of thing). But I don't think I would buy the orphek if I was to do it all over again.What's everyone's favorite lights and why?
Hi! I recently hot into the reefing hobby and I bought the AI prime just like you. I wanted to ask what settings and schedule you have on it? Since I’m basically a beginner on this topics. Thanks in advance.I have been happy with my AI prime I use on my nano tanks my main tank has orphek Atlantik v4 that have now been upgraded with the icon internals.

Has anyone had any experience with other brands out of warranty service?
Kessil wants $100 to diagnose the light plus the cost to ship it. That would go towards repairs if it's repairable. If not I lose the $100. Or a discount on a new light for $337.
