A Decent Growth w Kessil A360W

The A360WE are good enough for the 40b. I actually had 2 of these over my 90G

Do you have the Kessil controller, and if so, what are your settings?

Nbagnardi, omg that's beautiful. I guess then my issue is to what settings to use with the controller to get this awesome growth.

Not to derail this thread, but at what point would one consider upgrading lights? I've got an a160we over my 17g sps tank. Some claim they grow sps with this light, but the majority all advise the 360we instead.

I had one blue staghorn acro turn light brown. Others, like my miyagi tort has developed bright blue tips and a turquoise body.

My tank parameters have been swinging lately, so that could be a reason for corals losing their color. Not sure if I should hold out and stick with this Kessil a160, or jump to the 360?

How long before a coral turns brown due to insufficient light vs swinging parameters?
