Kessel a360we

[randy4083]

I have a kessel a360we light on a 25 gallon tank and I have a purple millipora and 2 bubletip anemones and some moderate light lps corals and I can't seem to get this light dialed in and I don't know what color and how high to run the intensity at and I have the controller to the light and it's 8 inches of the water hanging from a gooseneck so can anyone help me figure this out? If so it would be greatly appreciated thanks

I have the same light on a Nuvo 40 and I did few adjustments prior to cooking couple
Montis =(
I have mine about roughly 10-11" and my settings are roughly something like this:

8a 5%color 5% intensity
10-12:00 20 25%
12-4:00 25 35%
5-7 20 25%
8p - 0 0

I posted this thread a while back inquiring about this light:

What's happening in the tank that your not happy with and what are all your perameters? First thing I would do is lift the light up some so it lessens shadows and you take away the chance of hot spots burning something. I've run kessils as high as 20" off the water and been able to keep things happy in a 22" tall tank.

I've been running Kessil A360we's for years. Best advice I can give is to start no higher than 25% intensity and color and go from there. Kessil light is deceptively intense. Don't increase intensity or color more than once per month.

I burned up several corals in my old tank when I first upgraded to the Kessils. I never get above 65% intensity in a 26" deep tank.

I think I'm running 50% intensity and 45% color. I tried running higher intensities, but my colors faded.
