I also run a kessil A350w in the center of my tank. The other four lights are radions. So far getting excellent growth and color
 
I had really good color with my a350w but not a whole lot of growth. Switched to a 6x24w t5 fixture and have had excellent growth since. this is just my experience, a lot of people have had a better experience with them than I did.
 
Tried it for 6 month. It'll grow frags but not colonies.

I seem to get great color out of mine... I use it more for the blue then anything
 
I loved the Kessil 360's, my sps were growing and didn't loose any color. The only issue I had was coverage for a bigger tank, IME, to grow colonies successfully, you would need at least 4 to 5 360w in a 6' tank. I mean 3 Kessils are good, but 4 are much better...but you're looking at $2000!!

Now if its a cube, Kessil 360 will be my choice, it looks "clean" shimmer is incredible and will grow sps:) my.5cents
 
If I have a 30" L x 30" W x 24" T area to cover how high from the water surface would a kessil 360w need to be? Majority Sps tank also
 
Okay here's one for you, SPS under Kessils.

I also run 2 kessils a350s over a 90g corner reef with sps and have great results so far. Out of curiosity what does everyone have the whites set at on the dial knob? Those who don't have a controller hooked to them. Seems like the whites come on pretty bright when barley adjusting the knob..
 
Here is my setup with 2 kessil a350w. Hard to pick up a lot of the coral in the pic due to poor camera quality. But you get the idea.
