ATI and Kessil 160we or 360we?

[dzel]

I switched from LED to an ATI 8x24 fixture and I love the look now. The only thing I'm missing a lot is the shimmer. I saw a tank in person with an ATI being supplemented by a Kessil 360we and I loved that combination.

I'm mostly looking for a small pop in color but mainly looking for that shimmer. My only concern is; is it worth it spending the extra cash and buying the 360we or should the 160we be enough just to supplement the ATI?

I cannot answer your question specifically, but I can say, I am running 4 60" T5 with 3 Kessil A360W-Es and LOVE the look

I use both the 160 and 360 on separate tanks with ATI. In my opinion with the Kessil's its more about coverage or size of your tank and what type of corals you're keeping. Not to mention the combo of ATI bulbs you are using. I run Blue plus, Coral plus, Purple plus with my Kessils.

That's a nice setup. So are the Kessil your main light?

The tank is a 24x24x20 cube. I'm keeping mostly sps. At the moment I have a bulb combination of:

Blue +
Coral +
Actinic
Blue +
Coral +
Purple

Coral +
