Kessil Shimmer is amazing!! I just put an A360W-E over my Nuvo 38...we'll see how the corals look in a few months. Upgraded from the IM 92W Tablet.

I would lean towards the Kessil's because of Apex controlability. I have 2 360's over one of my tanks and am quite happy with them.

I loooove the kessils. Don't get me wrong, but I don't like them as a sole light source. My dream fixture would be a 4 bulb ati fixture with the 2 middle bulbs removed and 2 kessil 360we's installed in their place. My buddy did this and it was incredible. However, the features you get at the lumentek price point are hard to ignore.

Just my 2 cents....
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
