[Edgara7981]

Hello, I am looking for reccomendation's for a kessil A180WE I currently have it 12" above water and for a 60 gallon tank I have kessils recommended light setup but my corals don't like it. I had some LPS corals but they died. I now have a mixed tank of softies like bubble tips and carpet corals. And i am looking for help on a good light setup.

Do you have a controller?
More than likely you have it on way too much power.
Turn it down look to see if the corals are reaching for the light or running away from it.
Is it a 160 or a A80?

Can you give me a link to your light?
What percentage are you running your light?
Did you acclimate your light to your corals?

I find that Kessil are brighter or sharper than AI lights, you may want to lower your percentage more, my anemone loves my AI Prime HD and hate. my Kessil 160.
