So I'm not new per say. But I haven't really had a lot of experience with lighting. My first nano was extremely successful growing corals with. It was thrown together. With corals a couple fish and a current orbit marine light.

I've now upgraded and had kessil lights. But I'm not finding the growth that I did previously. My anemones love it. But other corals I find are less fond of it.


Anyone had advice ???? I don't do sps.

What do you want to achieve growth and coloration? How big is your tank? Kessils are a hit or miss. People either love them or hate them. I don't care for them. Had a a160we tuna blue and it was eh cool shimmer but no growth. Good for coloration pop but there are plenty of better of other lights out their in the same price range or even cheaper.
