Best led lighting
Let me be a bit more specific. I want very good led lighting for current set up of 125 gallon mixed reef tank. I will be upgrading To a 220 gal. Reef so lights will have to move to new tank and be able to support that tank. Was looking at radions and kessal LEDs. Any help or thought would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

My favorite leds that I've seen in person are kessils. They just put off beautiful color and shimmer. I can't say how well they work since i dont personally have them but I plan to use them in a future build.

I bought only one today. Cost me $950 plus another $130 for three arms to hang it. It cover 4ft by 2ft and like 30 inches deep. Great light. Hope they update the app for it soon Will buy another for the other side (and have over lap light). But at $1100+ could only afford one today...will run regarding leds on other side, for a week or 2 while I learn using new (way more powerful) lighting. It should get all my corals growing now.

I've had the radion and kessil's and prefer the additional controllability of the radions. Both will grow pretty much anything.

I bought another ap700 (into them now for over 2k) and can't get them to link. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or any help on how to link them is probably a better question
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
