Question regarding kessil color channel..

slayerhellfire · Nov 30, 2016

Hey everyone, just wondering if the color channel on the kessil has any importance in coral growth or is it just a appearance factor. It seems like my corals grow crazy just under the intensity setting only with having only a 5% color spectrum.

Kessil explained that it was the intensity is what gets the corals nutrition. And the color adjustment is purely for the eyes.

I would recommend you be super careful with intensity over your corals. Believe it or not, these lights are super powerful and can cause as much heartache as they can joy. Please read as much as you can, and check YouTube for more information before you dive head on. I've had mine for the better part of 6 months and ended up burning and losing a few corals because of too much intensity.
