That is a beautiful tank. Checking out your build thread now. Thanks!
I run 4 kessil A360w on articulating mounts with one custom orphek LED bar attached to my 6 bulb ATI T5 fixture.Hi,
I just ordered two OR120's to mount with my 4 kessil a360we's. Anyone have any pics of your kessil and OR light setup?
Thanks
That's a really nice combo u have there. T5 still very good at growth and led will add pop and the kessil will produce shimmeringI run 4 kessil A360w on articulating mounts with one custom orphek LED bar attached to my 6 bulb ATI T5 fixture.
Pictures are pretty blue heavy right now since I'm still in my dawn ramp up mode. Plus, @ycnibrc tank makes me ashamed to show my pictures after seeing that tank!
Yes, it's a 6 foot tank.@Daniel Waters Is that a 6' tank? I'm trying to figure out how to mount the two or120's above my tank since they are only 4'. My current setup is 6'. I may need to just order two more and stagger them. I guess I'm going to need another par meter to see where my par is with the new or120's. I will be running the kessils down the middle and the or120's on each side like my pic below.
I am wanting to get rid of my 4 t5's and only run kessils and OR120's.
Thanks! It has been a progression of mix and match of T5 and LEDs. The T5 / led hybrid is my favorite combination. My kessils and LEDs give me shimmer and controllability and the T5s give me the uniform, diffused look I prefer. I never had any trouble growing corals with just my kessils in the past (but was only doing softies and LPS then), but I do have the T5s providing the majority of the par for my tank now.That's a really nice combo u have there.

If you have a 5th kessil, I'd use it. With puck style led units, the more the better I think (more point of light sources = less shading). You can always turn the intensity down, which I figure means a longer life for each unit (ideally).@Daniel Waters Thank You. As soon as my 120's arrive this week I am having my BIL build me a nice floating canopy to house the 4 kessils and or120's. He does woodworking for a living. Me not so much, ha. I threw this together in a day just to get the lights hung. I have a 5th kessil if I need it. Guess I will be buying another par meter, ha.
