Kessil A160 Tuna Sun and Saltwater

[Greenfishguy]

Hi everyone - kind of a dumb question here, but is there any harm using a Kessil A160 Sun light for a FOWLR set up? Im taking the plunge and converting my FW planted tank to saltwater. I already have the A160 sun and spectrum controller. I know it isnt ideal, but is there any harm in using it? Eventually I will get a tuna blue but am just trying to save a bit of money at first.

Any feedback or experience is welcome and helpful.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with going that way, but it will grow more nuisance algae. Some colors will also look washed out since freshwater vs saltwater coloration are slightly different.

Thanks for the info - that makes a lot of sense. I appreciate the info.
