Kessil 150w light coverage

[frans07]

I'm starting a 22x19x14 frag tank. I think it's around 26g. Would 1 kessil 150w be enough light to grow any SPS? I've stuck w/ metal halides but I'm debating on switching over to LEDs

1 Kessel will do it.

One could do it depending on rockwork and height you hang it at. You will want it to be higher off the tank in order to cover the tank and not get a lot of shadowing. A lot of that will also depend on your rockwork and its height.

okay, thanks for the info. I just want to make sure that the coverage will be throughout the tank and not just down the center, but i guess i can prop it higher.

Personally, Anytime I try SPS with Kessil LED's they Loose all their Color and go Brown.

They do not Die and Do Grow but they loose all their Color.

Kessil are Great for Softies and LPS as those Corals seem to Love them.

But all my SPS and Chalices are Lit with T5's.

Chalices always Die when I try them under LED too.

I have a Single Kessil A150 on my 20 Long Frag Tank (30 X 12 X 12) and everything is doing great (No SPS of Course).

According to Kessil themselves the A150 is good for 18 X 18 X 18 and the A350/A360 are good for 24 X 24 X 24.
