Hi Guys, I Jus bought a second hand Kessil a 160 we to replce a Coral box moon. I have just set it up and about to crank it up. Has anybody have any experience with this lamp in the context of a 16 gallon (or close) LPS tank that could share your settings etc?
I would like to know:
1, how far from the suface of the water you have it set
2. Where do you have the intensity set
3. where do you have the colour set.

Would be a bonus if you could take a shot of where you have the knobs set

Cheers

I ran a A360x on my little frag tank for some time had it mounted roughly 15 inches above water like but keep in mind it was not a deep tank. But I would do some research on this forum there is plenty of people that run these. Let me check for you and see if I can find a thread!

I ran one over an 8 gal frag tank and I used Kessil spectral controller but at "full daytime settings" it was 80% Intensity, 60% color and it was about 12" above waterline
