Kessil A360WE and SPS corals

potatocouch · Mar 6, 2016

Has anyone has the experience of using 1 unit of A360WE and has been able to maintain and grow SPS corals?

I love to hear from you.

I would assume they can grow any coral theres tons of tanks on you tube that are powered by kessil

Also depends on tank size

I asked the same question two week ago and really did not get a response, I went in to my LFS and check them out first hand, and went with a different lamp? Find the lamps some where near you and see them in action, the kessil's are a good lamp and you can control them through apex

You can control them threw the spectraum controller as well they grow the **** out of everything. I have had a a160 over my frag tank for just over a week had zoas that have been closed for months open within a hour

Yes I grow acro, birds nest, montis and just got a blue milipora a month ago. All grows well. Just start at 50% and work your way up. There is fish store here in ca there entire store is ran on 350s 360s and amp 700. Diablo corals. Look up there web site. They also have videos online.

I say 2 foot cube with 1 unit of Kessil A360WE.

I heards lots use pair .. triple .. quadraple but i'm interested in seeing anyone has the opportunity and succeed with 1 unit.

I am using 2 360we over a 48x30x20 tank.

There you go .. double ....

I can grow acro with in a 18inch circle of light and lps beyond that

Kershaw · Mar 6, 2016

They can do a 24 x24 area so I have 1 for each half of tank. Just trying to help.

All good @Kershaw! It just mind boggling that I can't see anyone uses 1 unit for 2 foot cube ... perhaps I'm on the right track here .. 1 unit can't grow SPS in 2 foot cube.

My plan is to put one over a redsea 170 and that is 24x24. Friend of mine has the same tank and light and he grows everything!

Does he has a journal that I can read on @jmp21677 ?

I got the same tank dimension.

I'll take the blame for you

I'm not growing any Acropora, but I have Montipora and Porites growing in my tank. I have three A360WEs on my 125 gallon tank, and so far so good. FWIW.
