So I just got 2 Kessil A160WE pendants today, and I have a few questions. For background: My tank is mixed Reef 75gal, standard dimensions 48x20x18, mostly softies and LPS. I’ve been running 2 250W MH’s and 4 T5’s for 8 years on this tank with success, but I really like the look of the LED’s and am interested in saving some $ and reducing heat output in my living room.
1.)How high should I hang them above water level? 2.)To supplement with T5’s or not? (I was planning on running 2 48” T5’s with the Kessils.)
3.)And then can those of you that use these post some pics of what you have programmed on your controllers so I can get an idea of where to start?
4.) Going from MH to LED (without a par meter) what’s a safe starting point for intensity?
