Agreed. I am tired convincing a friend to leave his hydra 52 alone and improve his nutrients export instead.

Water chemistry is messy, hard, has a dozen factors, and usually isn't defined by picking a team (Ecotech, Kessil, AI).
The percentage of people that have everything right in their tank and the next biggest win for them is getting the magic color sliders exactly right is tiny.
(lol)
Guess your friend does not use the Donovan's "Water Chemistry - Logic"
A teaser of information. Can't wait to see the full report! And yea that power brick gets HOTI'm in the process of evaluating a Kessil AP700. PAR drops some as the lamps become whiter, up to a point. Energy consumption is less than advertised (good, or bad, depending upon your point of view.) More, much, much more, when testing is complete. One other thing, this thing will melt egg crate if the luminaire rests directly upon it!

I totally missed he said luminaire lolNot the brick, the lense. The AP700 is a laser cannon
At what point on the color wheel did you start to see a par drop?I'm in the process of evaluating a Kessil AP700. PAR drops some as the lamps become whiter, up to a point.

Highest PAR was at the 'bluest plus 1' setting; the lowest at the whitest. The bluest setting has the most UV which at least some, of course, doesn't show up in a PAR measurement. I'll have a better idea of radiation if my ancient UV radiometer still works... This thought just added a half-day's work. ;BookwormAt what point on the color wheel did you start to see a par drop?
Kessil logic has a cost. What I mean by that is the light is basically a 2 channel design
and if one want to maintain power going from ch1 full..to 50/50.. to ch 2 full that means that you are under-utilizing the lights "potential"..
In other words it will never run both channels at 100%.. Can't..
To make it a bit clearer think of this.. When you shift it to 100% ch 1 and ch 2 is off as you blend you have no choice but to go to decreasing output on one channel by increasing output on the other..(or duty cycle)
In other word both channels will never run at 100% together..
At a 50/50 blend each channel is running at 1/2 of its potential..To keep it at 100%..
Just find this interesting...Wonder if the cooling could handle both channels at 100%
