I have some plenum velcro strips I cut for them last night...working in A/V I have access to ALL the cable management supplies!!!Suggestion, get yourself some small black zip ties at Lowe’s and the cords can be hidden really well. Love my Kessils too...
Sorry to highjack - but I also got a Kessil A360, with the gooseneck -BUT on my corner tank, the lip is ridiculous and the gooseneck hangs horribly at like a 20-30* angle. Making the kessil about 5” at the max off the water.
What can I do, besides setting up wire from the ceiling (wife will kill me)
WWC has a similar sized tank running double 360's just inside their door. Colors are amazing!!! Pick yourself up a Rose Tip Bubble Anenome, looks like burning flames under these...
The cable is a standard 3.5mm audio cable.I have read about all the major and some of the minor LED fixtures until my eyeballs became less moist...and, as I'm sure you've guessed from the title, I have landed on a pair of Kessil A360WE with the A series controller for my little 20 gallon long (supreme overkill!!!) They should arrive within the week.
Overkill, because we will be re-purposing these lights in the next year or two after we move into our permanent house and setup a proper reef. (Where they will most likely be transplanted into a T5HO hybrid fixture).
In any case, my main question is after deciding to spend a great deal of money on these 2 fixtures, goose necks, and a controller...do i really have to spend another $20 on what looks like a standard male-to-male TRS(tip-ring-sleeve) cable? There is no way that this thing is that special, is it?
So, I ask of you other Koolaid drinkers, have you ever taken this cable and toned it out, is it just a standard 3.5mm TRS...because it looks like it!
On a separate note, I intend to start with the acclimation mode, since we are moving from a Current Orbit (not the pro) to these beautiful/powerful things...would you all suggest a good intensity to acclimate to? We are talking about 12" total depth and mixed reef population. Our most light hungry monster is a piece of WWC Grafted Cap sitting about 3-4" below the surface, and I will die (my wife will kill me) if I burn this beautiful piece!
I know the real answer is get a PAR meter, which is likely on the way, but if someone has already resolved this mystery, then I'd rather not re-invent the wheel.
People say having a small tank is hard I personally enjoy them I am also thinking about doing a 1 cup macro nano for the heck of itIt’s that exact tank that made me decide to switch to kessils..lol. Small world.
13% is the minimum intensity you can do with A360s. Start from there, or around 25% and they go up slowly.
Any 3.5mm audio jack connectors will work for the controller cable. They cost like 5$ in electronics store, while in LFS the kessil branded ones cost 18$
We got to see it a couple weeks ago, it was indeed a gorgeous reef!It’s that exact tank that made me decide to switch to kessils..lol. Small world.
I just took PAR readings from my kessil A360W and was not impressed, under my 40 nuvo the light was great but I had two over a 4 foot tank and was def not enough. Anyway about 8 inches above the water maybe 4 inches from the top I was averaging only 150 PAR at full intensity...yeah was kinda surprised. So I sold mine and went with a photon V2 4 foot fixture from reef breeders, 10 inches off the water about 4 inches down I was almost at 350 PAR!!! and only at 60%.I have read about all the major and some of the minor LED fixtures until my eyeballs became less moist...and, as I'm sure you've guessed from the title, I have landed on a pair of Kessil A360WE with the A series controller for my little 20 gallon long (supreme overkill!!!)
