"Kessil Logic"

[saltyfilmfolks]

Yeah but are you happy?

yea, why?

 

[GoVols]

PAR values using an Apogee MQ500 with full spectrum sensor. Two 360WEs mounted 5" above the water on a standard 75g tank (48x18). Color at 65% and Intensity at 40%.

Fire them up to 100% Intensity.

Salty's right, They will not release their specs. but at 100% you will cook'm.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

but at 100% you will cook'm.

unless you acclimate and have enough available nutrients. My ai sol has 3x more power than a 360 . I have xena palys and zoas at the top of my tank 9 in from the ai sols at 70%

Just an FYI...
I finally got the Kessil/T5 hybird to 50% color and 100% intensity and pushing 4 t5's instead of two but (lol) to your point...
I'm dosing 15ml each of "Reef Energy" A & B daily to keep the nutrients up.

I have no reason to increase intensity.

Sweet spot achieved!

What's Kessil Par?

 

[GoVols]

What's Kessil Par?

It will automatically set the new Kessil's at the perfect intensity.

It will automatically set the new Kessil's at the perfect intensity.

whut?

 

[GoVols]

whut?

It's going to be built into the new 12" AP550's and the 32" AP1100's.

how does that work? it has a meter in the tank?

And perfect for what becomes the big question.

 

[GoVols]

micro wifi "meters" that stay in your reef.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

micro wifi "meters" that stay in your reef.

really? thats wild. Going back on their you cant measure our par? or did they come up with a new name?

I hope they're bubble algae proof!

Wait, what fire at 100% intensity? My peak is for 3 hours is at 30% color and only 40% Intensity and I cooked my Montis =(
360W users what's your sked like? My tank is IM40 and light is about 10-12" high.
Thanks!

keep this in mind as we talk about intensity

Sorry @saltyfilmfolks, my "are you happy?" comment was in response to:
@GoVols ' asking:
"Do you run the AP700 with the I-pad. If so are you happy with your AP700?"

I dont feel my 2 Kessil 360we's adequately cover my 48" 90 gallon tank so I've been tossing around ideas such as
1) getting another 360
2) replacing them with 2 Mitra LX's (holy God that's expensive!)
3) buying an AP700 and squeezing it between the 360s.
4) wait for the next gen of whatever

Salty,
I'm just pulling everyone's leg with the "Kessil Par" and the AP550's / 1400's. ;Smuggrin
But... One can dream.

The best logic kessil should have incorporated into the A160 would be user replaceable fans

I'm in no man's land with the AP700's being that my reef is 42" long.
I like the GHL's too.
This is what I'm running. If you scroll down to post #89
