Thanks for the screenshots. I've read somewhere that 100% violets killed their corals. I'm sure your corals are loving it. Please share tank pics possible.This is what I came up with trying to mirror the XR30 sps ab+
I've been using 100% violets during peak hours without issue, but I've been using Kessil's for nearly 7 years now. But I can see if someone was using a different light without violets and going full throttle without acclimation, that it could cause some issues. But that's user error and not the lights.Thanks for the screenshots. I've read somewhere that 100% violets killed their corals. I'm sure your corals are loving it. Please share tank pics possible.

All these pics are being grown with the ap9xThanks for the screenshots. I've read somewhere that 100% violets killed their corals. I'm sure your corals are loving it. Please share tank pics possible.
how about intensity setting?He's not wrong on the violet at 100%. If you had a PAR meter you would see that if your AP9X is adjusted at 60% intensity and let's say you were getting 200 PAR at 8 inches. If you were to leave the PAR sensor there and adjust the Violet from 0 to 100, it really raises your PAR. So 100% Violet is rough on the corals. I wouldn't raise that to more than about 80% even if you had those fixtures adjusted to 100% brightness.
The Kessil "Logic" works like this: The spectrum is already set, you can't adjust it. The only thing the color knob does, is add in white. If it's all the way down you have deep blue. The further you adjust the color up, you have more white for the look. The white is simply for looks, it doesn't affect the spectrum any and isn't attached to the actual spectrum lights.
That should be based on your corals needs. What are you keeping?how about intensity setting?
I have a 120x50x50 cm tank with dominant SPS in it and use 2 units of Kessil Ap9x with a distance of 14 cm from the edge. The height of the lamp to the water surface is 10” (25cm)how about intensity setting?

This is my reef tank under kessil AP9X.

Depends on mounting height. Under 9”, then Reef Brites are great, but over 10” or more, then Orphek for punch. I think there are a few other options out there now that we’ll give you good results. @telegraham might be able to name a few?hi guys, in your opinion, what are the best led bars to combine with Kessil ap9x for sps corals? reefbrites? orphek? others?
