LED suggestions?

jsnide925 · Mar 4, 2016

I'm looking to buy new LEDs I have a 75 gallon. I'd like to hear what everyone likes the best. Leaning towards kessil at the moment I have an apex controller so I'd like them to be compatible with that.

I have three Kessil A360WEs on my 125 gallon tank. Honestly, my only gripe with them is that I can't use them for moon lights. Other than that, I can't run them past about 50% output or my corals close up from the intense lighting. I really think they make a tank look beautiful.

I've been looking at the ap700 but I don't think its apex compatible. Not sure if it has moonlighting or not either. For 900$ I would hope it does

I may just go with 2 A360WEs and get the apex lunar simulator instead for around the same price. I've heard to many good things about the 360s

I'm pretty sure the AP700 is Apex compatible, but the cost still seems excessive. I will probably end up getting the LSM for the Apex as well.

3x ai 26 is good for that size tank

The Kessil AP700 is not currently Apex controlable but Kessil says it's in the works

Wow, that's crazy. I hadn't looked into it much mostly due to the cost and the fact that I'd need two for my tank. I'm surprised Kessil would introduce such an expensive item that isn't Apex controllable.

Yeah, but unlike Ecotech....Kessil says it's going to happen.

I know what you mean, I have 2 waiting and I plan to do T5s as well.

I love my a 360wes I have two. But if I could I would trade them for a ap700 in a hart beat. They do everything the 360 do and more. And the ap700 is only 50 dollars more then the 360 new. Unless they dropped in price recently
