Anyone have data on Kessil A80x PAR / intensity? Just downsized to a 20 all in one with a kessil a80 and not sure what intensity to run this light at for my types of coral

Have duncans, acans, blastos, hammer

Run 100% It might be ok, but typically the a160we would be the right size for a tank like that.

Kessil has a choose your kessil guide that talks about spread and mounting height.

I currently have three (3) A80s on a 20-gallon; two might do, but I don’t think one will give you the side to side coverage you will want.

If you are able to place higher-intensity corals centered near the middle, and things like mushrooms off to the sides, that could be a better way of making a single light work for your tank. Best wishes! :) Give us a photo down the line.
