Kessil 360 vs Ecotech

[Mattrg02]

Same.

I notice your sps look to be very close to the kessil light. Could have a lot to do with your success.

I run them at 60%. They do look dim compared to other led tanks I have seen in person. It seems like Kessils have a lot of uv light that tend to fry my corals when I turn up the intensity because the tank does not look bright.

I run mine at 70% intensity over a 17g tank. Brown **** corals despite spot on parameters which are much better than how I used to keep it.

What color do you ramp up to? I max my color at 65 through the Apex.

30% now....
Used to be 40%

Just so everyone knows, color doesn't determine power output. I've used a power meter on this light and found that power output doesn't depend on color, only intensity.

Same.

That toadstool! :O

Mattrg20, how many kessils do you have over your tank? I find that people who are succesful with kessils have more than just one over their tank.

Just the one 360we. Seems unrealistic to have to have more than that over a 17g tank.

Same.

My A160WE Keeping my SPS happy inside my NC 28G. My rainbow acans look amazing under this light. I did start T5 supplementation a week ago, but before that, most of this growth has been under my Kessil. Intensity at 50% and color at 30%.I love my Kessil too. This picture is with the Kessil on only. I use my Apex Jr and VDM module to control it.

Both the Kessil and Ecotech Radion are great lights for any reef aquarium. Honestly you can't go wrong with either. We have been running the Ecotech Radions in our store since they first came out and are very happy with them. Personally I would choose the Ecotech Radions but I must say I have lots of happy customers running both.

Say hi to Dave for me! There you go. I trust whatever vivid aquariums says because they know what they are doing. From a previous customer that lived in the SF Valley.
