I purchased this light for my soft corals but my fish seem to like my original aquasky light better

Lighting is one of the things where you get what you pay for. While it may be ok for coral, the look won't be appealing and the craftsmanship will be poor quality generally.

Yes I agree. Having a hard time getting it to look right

I went from the black box led to kessil. I couldn't believe how awful the lights made my tank look before switching. It was like taking off foggy glasses.

I absolutely love kessil. They are much more expensive though. If serious about coral growth lighting will be your biggest investment. Have to figure that most of us have 1 coral that costs the same as your current light. What kind of budget do you have for lighting?

About $200

About $200

I would keep your current light and keep saving if it were me. The light you have now just isn't visually appealing but probably grows coral. For 200 you can get a decent light but won't be enough for your tank size. What are the dimensions?

Actually my corals are shrinking up

Coral can stress for a multitude of issues. How old is the tank? Current parameters? Which coral? Placement? Flow? The list goes on and on.

Note that this is not 600w light, its 165w just like all black boxes, in reality its a 110w unit.....

 

[Redandluvenit]

Pulsing xenia. Bta.

 

[Jekyl]

Also I'm not familiar with that light. If like other black boxes they can put out EXTREME par values. I had 2 165w over my 90g. I ran them at 20 white, 60 blue. Your light could potentially be twice as strong.
