I'm setting up my wife's 29g mixed reef, and trying to make up our minds between the ORPHEK pendant or the Kessil 150w Sky Blue.
I did get a reply email from someone at Kessil, and he said the Sky Blue would work just fine, for everything but SPS's.

The ORPHEK is much brighter, but not necessarily better.
My wife likes the look of the body and mount over the ORPHEK, as it would need like the "garden hook" or hanging from the ceiling.

The Kessil is obviously a lot bluer. So, which would be better for the corals, as far as spectrum ?
Clams, mushrooms, a few LPS's and maybe a anemone for a clown fish as a host.

The PR72 is designed for corals and our spectrum and intensity is centered around the needs of SPS corals. :)
