I have a biocube 32 and kessil a360x has been best thing for my tank. Alot of my corals as you will see in the pic were little frag. I have mushrooms growing like crazy euphyllia super huge and it's all cause of the light and of course the right parameters for my water. I do use reef roids and reef chili. and its helped but mainly it's the light. I did buy the dongle wifi which made all the difference. I didnt use the knobs. I didnt like not having the exact percentage of white and blue. Guess what I'm trying say you have great lights and more than enough. If u dont have the dongle def. Recommend to get it

Welcome. Very happy you decided to join us. I do not have kessils but as you can already see many do. This is a great place for questions and assistance.

Welcome to R2R! I used to be known as the kessil koolaid man, I'll try to help in any way I can. (Yes that rhymed) what are your current settings and how far off the waters surface is the light?

The lights are about 7" away from the waterline And I'm not really sure what the settings are on anymore I've messed with it entirely too much Was just curious if there's a simple easy way to set it that should surviceFor most corals

Hey, welcome. I use kessils. I'm using the dongal and programmed them on my phone. I used the knobs for awhile before the dongal came out. I have a 210 mixed reef. With three a360x and four T5s. But you got more than enough power for Lps and softies. I'd say intensity at 50 percent and 20 percent white. Start there. If they look small and shrunk up that's too much light. If they are expanding out need more light. Make small adjustments. Usually they will adjust to your lights.

That said lighting is probably not the reason your corals are not growing. Lots of things can stunt growth. Poor water quality, lack of nutrients, low trace elements, low alkalinity, temperature too low, salinity low.

Thank you I just ordered the Dongal last night
