I have a 250wt HQI and set up the A500x next to it. The A500x is just as bright as the metal halide. Finally Kessil has hit a home run!A500X Controllable LED Aquarium Light - Tuna Blue
The power, coverage, and penetration of metal halide, without the heat or energy consumption. Kessil A500X LED light delivers greater capability than ever before, and can meet the needs of large SPS dominated systems with ease. Thanks to Kessil’s dense matrix LED arrays and specialized optics...www.bulkreefsupply.com
Nearly $800 and no built in WiFi. Can someone help me please justify that?
How would you describe the difference in shimmer between the two?I have a 250wt HQI and set up the A500x next to it. The A500x is just as bright as the metal halide. Finally Kessil has hit a home run!
I would go with 6. If you look at SPS dominant 300DD tanks lit with other 180w lights they usually use 6. A great example would be Mike Paletta's old 300DD lit with 6 XR30sFor a 300G DD how many would be needed for a heavy SPS tank wall to wall? I have 6xT5 + 3 corona rapid LED fixtures, I could mix the LEDs maybe?
How is this build doing at this point?Hey all,
I have been out of the hobby for about 8 years, time flies. Any way, if some of you remember me I was one of the first users of Kessil in a reef tank and used to post about them a lot.
I am currently setting up a new system utilizing a 40 cube and a brand new Kessil A500X that I just received the other day.
I am working on either a Seneye or an Apogee to measure par. I have it set to about 35% intensity right now with the 55 degree reflector. It is about 14 inches off the top of the water.
All I currently have in the tank is a mated pair of Bali Aquarich Helmet Premium Picasso Perculas and a green BTA.
I will adjust and read par as the days go on.
The Kessil A500X is made very well if course and the mounting arm is top quality. I will be adding any SPS and some hammers, etc. Will attach a couple of pics until I get the tank more established.
Long goneHow is this build doing at this point?
