I currenlty have a new build about 4 months old now ........ just got a anemone so I bought better lighting I bought the kessil 360 can some one please help me set the intensity and color ?
 
Do some research on the Kessil 360 and T5 hybrid setup. I didn't realize this till recently but the Kessils do not put out enough PAR to support SPS properly. I mean it can be done (I've done it) but the results isn't anything to brag about. I've got 4 kessils 360w in a small area and I barely get 200 at 12" near 80 percent intensity , 20% color.

you should rent a par meter and check your self.
