Kessel lighting

[Reef addict 01]

Hello everyone, just wondering if any of you have kessel lighting and how they are performing. I have two a150w ocean blue on my 65gal tank. I've been impressed so far just wondering of anyone else has

I have two of the sky Blue - 10000K on my 75 and not really liking them. I bought them for a 56 gallon tank and they seemed ok. Thinking about up grading to something dim-able. Maybe the Ocean blue are better, but I wonder if I need more lighting or what? Do you have any photos? I was thinking of added to Ocean blues to what I have or getting a set of lights cheaper from reef radiance.

I seem to like them so far have you had any luck with your corals? I was wondering if they are showing a good color and are growing good. The ocean blues do put off a darker color than the sky Blu's do. I was thinking about getting a couple of the deep ocean blue or deep blue can't remember exactly what they were called. And yes I do have a picture here it is

How do u like it? What size tank do you have? And are those the ones that you can adjust the color?

I'm picking up 2 A150W Ocean Blue tomorrow. Can't wait to get them on my system.

They do ok, I wanted something that was dim-able and decide instead of getting 2 more of them to get a different set of lights. Softies did find on my light but LPS was a different story and did not try LPS.. keep an eye out I will have 2 for sale after my new lights come in.

I love it, corals colors r popping like crazy. Im just nervous to turn it up because idk how the corals will take it. I have it at like 35% whites and like 50% blue. Only thing is i wish they marked a halfway point so u kno whats exactly 50% is.

My tank is 22"X20"X18". I have mainly zoas n acans right now.

I just stated using fuel, how does it work and how long does it take?

 

[ReefRMadness]

get some sps in those tanks and tell me what your growth rate is.

My kessil sky blue on my nano love it!

Ive seen YouTube videos where a professional marine store placed kessels on a tank verses t5s and metal hildes and the coral proffered the kessel side and they claimed 3inches of growth on sps. I have two kessels and im looking to get a couple deep ocean blues. I like them so far but they may not be for everyone :).
