Kessel lighting

[Reef addict 01]

Hello everyone, just wondering if any of you have kessel lighting and how they are performing. I have two a150w ocean blue on my 65gal tank. I've been impressed so far just wondering of anyone else has

I have two of the sky Blue - 10000K on my 75 and not really liking them. I bought them for a 56 gallon tank and they seemed ok. Thinking about up grading to something dim-able. Maybe the Ocean blue are better, but I wonder if I need more lighting or what? Do you have any photos? I was thinking of added to Ocean blues to what I have or getting a set of lights cheaper from reef radiance.

I seem to like them so far have you had any luck with your corals? I was wondering if they are showing a good color and are growing good. The ocean blues do put off a darker color than the sky Blu's do. I was thinking about getting a couple of the deep ocean blue or deep blue can't remember exactly what they were called. And yes I do have a picture here it is

How do u like it? What size tank do you have? And are those the ones that you can adjust the color?

I'm picking up 2 A150W Ocean Blue tomorrow. Can't wait to get them on my system.

They do ok, I wanted something that was dim-able and decide instead of getting 2 more of them to get a different set of lights. Softies did find on my light but LPS was a different story and did not try LPS.. keep an eye out I will have 2 for sale after my new lights come in.

I love it, corals colors r popping like crazy. Im just nervous to turn it up because idk how the corals will take it. I have it at like 35% whites and like 50% blue. Only thing is i wish they marked a halfway point so u kno whats exactly 50% is.

My tank is 22"X20"X18". I have mainly zoas n acans right now.

I just stated using fuel, how does it work and how long does it take?

 

[ReefRMadness]

I just do exactly as the bottle says n its basically food for corals

get some sps in those tanks and tell me what your growth rate is.

My kessil sky blue on my nano love it!

Ive seen YouTube videos where a professional marine store placed kessels on a tank verses t5s and metal hildes and the coral proffered the kessel side and they claimed 3inches of growth on sps. I have two kessels and im looking to get a couple deep ocean blues. I like them so far but they may not be for everyone .
