Lighting help!

[sharkreef]

I have a 125 gallon tank don't know the exact measurements but I know it's 6 feet long. Anyways thinking of led lighting and want to get the Kessil a 360 but my tank has a center brace. Any suggestions on how I would go about this

Definitely complicates things and I don't think there is a perfect solution, but if you used four Kessils over that – two for each side of the brace – then I think you can have pretty good coverage without having too much light spill over the edges.

I think the smallest model of Kessil would do it. Maybe even look at their a700...two might do it.

My opinion you would need 4 and place them equal distance on each side of the center brace.. I have a 125 gallon also..

Steve what lighting do you have on yours

Currently I have a 60" reef builders led.. but I think im going with 2 Kessil a700's

This isn't full power of the reef builders

I have a Kessil 360 over my 27 cube so you're going to need multiples.

I think you will.. my lfs has 2 on a 4ft 120 gallon and I think on 6 feet your going to have dimmed areas if you do 2

This is for anyone that has one or more A700
The software for these lights is very poor. They do not change colour to deep blue without jumping in other words they do not fade into the deep colour. When you program the lights to go off they do not do this synchronised.
If you are on a lighter blue colour and wish to fade out to 0% it does not it jumps to deep blue before going out.

Kessil says this is all quite normal in fact it is horrible and makes the fish jump

They are great lights if you can cope with these problems
