Yesterday I had my kessil A360x crap out on me. It’s the second time this has happened to me in 6 months, but this time Kessil support told me that it was out of my ‘original 1 year warranty’, so the best they can do is offer me a discount on a new one. As much as I love the look of the Kessil, I’m not willing to buy one again. I just don’t trust the light, and I feel like if Kessil has confidence in their high end light they would extend the warranty to the full duration from time of replacement. I’m definitely not going to replace a $600ish (Canadian) light every year.
Either way, my LFS sold a 3 month used XR15 blue g5 complete with mounting kit for a very attractive price, and given my current lack of light, I Jumped on it. My question is, what kind of acclimation should I do? Duration? Starting intensity? I want to minimize risk with my corals, I don’t want to melt or bleach all my softies/LPS, but I don’t want to starve my millepora frag. Let me know!
Edit: running over a reefer 200xl, so 24” x22.6” x21”
