Kessil lighting for dummies

HalleyA · 2026-10-20T16:20:49-0400

I am new to the reefing community and I am about ready to turn on my lights and start adding coral... that being said I have a 62g tideline with 2 a360xe tuna blue kessil lights. I also have the kessil controller for the lights. Can someone please walk me through what is the best settings to use and how to program it for the light to accommodate my mixed reef? Like a toddler. Timing will be 10am-10pm with ramp up and ramp down.

I'm sure someone on the R2R #reefsquad will be able to help. @Crabs McJones didn't you have this controller?

@Reefer Matt likes Kessil lighting if he's got a minute to help.

Good luck!

What are the dimensions of your tank? Length, width & height?
