Show me your Kessil 360we tanks!

[Mandrew]

I'm going to be purchasing two Kessil a360we pendants for my 75g mixed reef I'm setting up. I would like you all to post pictures of your tank s running these lights so I get an idea of what to expect. I would also love you hear your opinions and growth stories with these lights! I appreciate it!!

Can a 160 count in this?

 

[Mandrew]

Sure why not!

 

[cameronh]

Sure why not!

Alrighty then!

 

[Mandrew]

Do you know if the spectrum is the same between the two lights? And do you get good growth?

This is my second a160we. I've always had great growth with it. No complaints. They do have hot spots though (directly under them) but I haven't had any problems yet. The spectrum is a bit different due to its size but you can always get multiples. I have this one over my 30 gallon. What size tank do you have?

 

[cameronh]

Oh, you already said that haha.

 

[Mandrew]

Yeah it's a 75g and I'd be getting 2 of the larger a360we lights

 

[cameronh]

Honestly two a160we's would be fine for that tank. #reefsquad, what's yalls take on this? I honestly think he would be fine with the 160's and it would save him some $$

 

[Mandrew]

I'm actually getting them used for a good price in my opinion. $500 for the pair shipped.

Man......you can buy two brand new 160's with a warranty for less.
But that is a good price

 

[Mandrew]

Oh yeah?

 

[Mandrew]

But the a360we is $400 new each.. so $500 for a pair is a steal

 

[cameronh]

239 brand new.
Do those 360's come with goosenecks?

 

[Mandrew]

They don't [emoji17] but I did plan on buying them

Good! Then buy two brand new 160's! A friend of mine has two on her 125 6 foot long aquarium and surprisingly they are doing great! She has all kinds of corals in there

 

[Mandrew]

Gah idk I'd rather have too much light than not enough haha. I would like this to be a heavy SPS tank so...

Gotcha!

Here's my little 5.5 under a 160we running max 40% intensity. Very bright of need be. Some corals have grown well, others needed better acclimation to the light. I'd be carful when first starting as these lights can burn the corals.

They show coral very well in my opinion and consume far less energy.

 

[Mandrew]

Gotcha!

I appreciate your opinion and trying to save me some money though for sure!
