I'm pondering selling my kessils an going with 2 red redsea reef led 160"s. For improved par, OR mixing and matching 2 kessils with 2 reef 90's to Light up my 150 dt 4×2×32".I have a redsea 50 on my frag tank and the Neon Candy coral for example just look more full and plump compared to their mothers in my main display and it's all the same water an fueled by my kessils. Based on what I'm researching and my proposed sps depths placements I'm also pondering, I can see more par at 12 an 18" out of the redsea lights.

This is solid info to completely switch to all red sea lights. But par is not everything as you know. Spectrum is also important. If you compare the spectrums of these two lights both are higher focus in the blues, but if you look close kessils splits 460 range (450-470) and the redsea splits the 450 (440-460).

So running a mix match of lights (2 each) I believe I would get better par and a better/expanding the good spectrum range. Would you agree or disagree? I'm medicated from having surgery today so I hope this does not sound like babbling.
