Kessil a150w be sufficient?

Miketc17 · Oct 2, 2014

I have a 27 gallon cube, 20x20x18. I currently have a Finnex Marine+ 20" and it's been doing great. I love the color and I get great coral growth. I have lots of zoas and a few lps and sps. I want to upgrade my light without breaking the bank. I was looking at the Kessil a150w 15k. Would this be sufficient lighting?

Its a nice light but for the pirce you do not get much, I would maybe suggest looking at reefbreeders, reef radiance or a small brand like that. I have the breeders values fixture and have gotten great growth on SPS, LPS and zoas. I will give Kessil that they make in my opinion the nicest looking fixture but again you get so little for the $220 (not controllable or dimmable without buying more equipment)

[TD="class: alt1, bgcolor: #EBEBEB"]The A160's are coming out real soon.

They are Controllable just like the A360 and will be more Powerful than the A150.

You can use the New Kessil Controller with them too.[/TD]
