I'm currently in the process of putting together a tank build and was looking for some opinions in regards to Kessil lighting. The tank will be a 40g mixed reef and I was considering going with the Kessil AP9X for total coverage and the set-and-forget-it style lighting it provides. If I didn't end up getting the Kessil, I was going to go with 2x Ecotech XR15's. I prefer the royal blue/actinic style look and was curious how SPS coloration/growth has been going for people using either the AP9X or A360X Tuna Blue lighting.
Im looking to avoid the blanket lighting look where everything kinda blends together, similar to if you only ran metal halides.

- Are you using only Kessil lighting or supplement lighting like T5 for full coloration?
- Are you getting good growth out of your colonies in comparison to other LED brands?
- Are you running a more actinic deep blue/royal blue light schedule with good success?
