I’ve used Kessil tuna blues. For me not the best for certain sps but great for lps and softies.
No experience with the XE or the AP9X, But I did use the H380 refugium light. got my best macro growth with it. But if the xe and the ap9x have kept in line with the previous models, i'd imagine they do just as well if not better :)
The ap9x is basically two tuna blues in one.
Agree, if you're going to use them for SPS they're best paired with T5's in my experience.
they are a quality light like I said I have had mine for over 8 years. Really depends on what you are trying to do with them. Type of coral
I’ve only had the new light on for a day but I can tell just from looking at my coral this light is providing a much better spectrum.
Gotcha. See i love my ai i have a ai blade on my tank and I love it so it's gonna be hard for me not to buy another one when my new tank comes in haha
The problem with Kessils and SPS corals is kessils are a single point light source, so the sps coral doesn't get coverage all over as it does with bigger lights that use grid style leds. Which is why I went with adding T5's to mine

Here's an example of growth under an AP700 with T5's
same corals a few months later but at this time I have Hydra 26's over the tank, but the kessil t5 did all the growt
I used the Aquatic Life t5 hybrid light running 4 ATI Blue+ bulbs
Oh dang that might be to much for a 25 gallon lagoon haha
Lol! Yeah definitely would be
