New Kessil AP700

[NW Fish Dude]

Received my new kessil AP700 yesterday and it sits beautifully over my 100g (48"x24"x20") tank. Switched over from a pair of gen 1 Radion XR30w's that I Upgraded once a year or so ago. So far so good. Coloring much more vibrant right off the bat. Much better shimmer. Was able to simply exchange out the lights using existing hanging kit from the ceiling, but raised the hanging height to 15" above water line to get full 48" coverage. Now time to see how the coral like it. Here's one iPhone pic, though a bit darker than what it looks in person.

Nice
Would you please give us the details of your light?
How much did it cost for you?

Ordered it through Amazon Prime, so free two day shipping. Came from "Saltwater Aquarium" for $895.

Do you think one is enough or would it be better with two

I talked with Kier at Kessil (they've have very prompt customer service for me) and with my tank size he said, "1 x AP700 should be a perfect fit for your tank. It will have plenty of coverage and will supply the necessary intensity for an sps heavy reef. " We'll see for sure with time, but the coverage seems better than with my two radions.

Anybody with early schedules or programs with the AP700 that they are happy with so far?

I'm really digging this fixture, thinking about purchasing one for my IM 50 lagoon.
