Just acquired a Kessil A350W Tuna Blue.......I'm LOVIN' IT!!!!!! Zoas responding with happy faces to the new lighting. I have both blues and whites dialed up to 30% equally right now for acclimation. In my eyes the setting i have it now looks similar to the 14k phoenix color i was getting. (was running 14k phoenix 150W halides). Here's a pic to prove....New PE that's been marinating in my tank for 3 months already.

Awesome. There's still people our there that think LEDs can't grow corals. I'm sure you'll be very happy.
 
Yep, so far the coral response has been positive for sure. Plus now I can work in the tank without the fear of burning my face on the K-2 Viper fixture i was running. LOL :jaw:
 
Thanks bro! yeah i actually clipped cheek once. not fun. lol. Now i know what everyone is talking about LED's. i only got zoas tho so for zoas they're working out awesome!
 
Just wanted you give u guys a update. Still running kessil A350W over the frag tank. This thing is awesome. i got it running about at 35% blue and 50% all whites. Still looking sick as usual and here's more updated pictures of the zoa i had under LED's since January 2013. of course i had these since october 2012........
