Looks great. I may have misread but do you already run the a360x's or installing?
What are you dosing that thing with!?!?
Not yet, the fixtures will be here tomorrow.
The original t5 timers seem to still be working.
I'll post it when that canopy is back up.
Got it, thanks. I misread
I have 3 and going to add a 4th over my 210 which is 54 x 30 x 30. They are really nice lights and Kessil is nothing but amazing support wise (although I hope you don't have to use them). I had a light flicker off/on for a bit. They asked for some debugging and stuff then next day a light showed up with a return label. I really can't complain.
saf1,
I bought 4 because the canopy holds the lights just 4" above the waterline.
If we just need three, then I'll get a full refund on the fourth.
I'm not going any further today, but the A360Xs are a perfect match in diameter and height, to the 2013 S-Series 10 bulb t5 canopy.
So far, so good!!!
The X's are exactly 4.3" in diameter, as Kessil states.
Looking great Freddie, and you’ve made a fine job of those lights, very nice!
Lights look great Freddie! They definitely make the corals pop in the photos. It will be fun to see what the corals think
Well I have around 38 litres of Matrix in (I think!) nitrates were around 8 so just awaiting this weeks tests when I do them. The seeded batch of Matrix has been in about 2 weeks I think. I’m not expecting any increases and it’s fine as it is but I’m just getting things in place ready.Thanks, Shaun!!
Checkmark on lights
When I get the nutrients back in control, then I may go back to more acros.
Any luck with your Matrix?
Freddie your photo dumps never dissappoint. Everything is looking phenomenal.
Im curious, after rbta catastrophe and the big snip fest u had to take on a while back, have you noticed any other of your corals taking off in the absense of the shadows?
Glad to hear the new lighting is working for you. Things look fantastic!Project for the weekend:
Replaced the door hinges... ;Wideyed
We still cyano and nitrates are still hanging high as well. Just holding the coarse and waiting to see if the Siporax will kick in, without having to carbon dose.
The A360Xs have been great and alk intake has gone up. The Alkatronic caught the alk intake and verified with Hanna. Lowered the cal reactors melting point by .1 in ph and we're dialed back to the new consumption.
X settings:
We have worked up to 75% intensity
Spectrum: 20% blue, 15% red and 75% voilet
Changed out the ATI B+ bulbs for brand new giesemann actinic blue bulbs.
An older acro colony that has been dormant for a good while seems to be coming back to life.
Red cap monti has made a 90-degree turn and growing straight up the back glass.
Birdsnest still doing good under this new high par lighting / no burnt tips
New growth edges have been showing up across the board
Fragamite from the BTA / RTN is holding up, seems happy...
A couple of fish shots for the week
So, nitrates seem to be coming down just a tad, but not the time to sound the bullhorn.
Alkatronic did its job by catching the alk intake on top of a very busy work week.
So happy with this new (led-X / t5) light setup, that it's hard to put into words.
We'll overcome the partial ugly stage that the S-400 is in at some point, and hope you all are well.

I have out of control cyano, also. For me, I'm sure it is the higher temperature causing issues.
