If using Kessil with the hybrid fixture... do you leave the LED's on 0% color then buy bulbs you like the look of? Or buy all Blue+/Actinic and leave the LED's on 100% color? I'm curious where in between the two extremes do people fall?

The A160's will get drowned out by the T5's, so the tank will never be as actinic blue as it is with the LED while the T5's are on. That said, I ramp mine from 20-40-20 % through the photo period. Zero white added. I can't speak to the A360's or AP700, those are 90W per puck fixtures vs the 40 of the A160.If using Kessil with the hybrid fixture... do you leave the LED's on 0% color then buy bulbs you like the look of?

Will the Orphek Atlantiks work with the Aquatic Life fixture? Thanks.

I'm kicking around the idea of making a light box to place the fixture in and suspending that from the ceiling. I can install a power strip inside the box so the wires are tucked in the box and not hanging all over the sides. My only concern is the weight with the addition of the wood for the box and transformers for the lights and such adding more weight. Has anyone attempted this ?
Yes, it's a safety feature of the ballast. Acclimate your tank via duration since you can't change the intensity. Start off very slow.
It could be a lamp. The end of life protection on the ballast will fire or flash the lamps ON and if there is a problem it will shut them off. If it happens again, take the set of lamps that are firing and swap fixtures. See if the problem travels with the lamp or stays with the fixture.
Let me know what you find. If it stays with the fixture shoot me a PM and we can start the process on a replacement.
I started my T5 at 2 hrs/day and increased by 1 hr/week until I got to 6 hours total. I use a different light so not sure on the kessilHey All, I have a 50 gal cube, 24l x 24w x 20d. I just got a 24" t5 hybrid. I will be running it with a Kessil a360, 2 blue+, 1 purple+, 1 coral+, these are the ati bulbs that came with it. My tank is mixed sps/lps. Can anyone help me with the settings for the a360 and the photo period for the t5's. Anyone running a similar set-up? Thanks
