Looks great, have to talk to the Penny Pincher. Are you interested in trading for anything or just selling?

Just selling. Let me know if you want any more pics or anything.

In this case I'm sort of downgrading--I'm going with two Kessil A160we instead of the A360we. My tank is small (20 gallon Nuvo Fusion), so two A160 gives more even coverage than one light while still providing all the intensity I need.

No, I'm afraid that I don't. I thought that I had kept it in the box, but it looks like I have lost it instead.

The 360 will cover a 20 gallon, but shadowing is an issue unless you carefully arrange rock and coral placement. Two lights reduce this considerably. Also, when covering a 20 gallon (24" x 12" roughly) a lot of light is wasted at the front and back because it misses the tank and goes straight out into the room. With two lights I can direct all of the output into the tank. This is not only more efficient, but (to me) more pleasing because my tank lights aren't doi
one light is not likely to work for that tank. You'd have to look to two lights, a dual-puck led fixture (like a Radion), or t5 instead.

I just noticed that the last part of my sentence in my long post got cut off. I didn't want to say that my lights are better because they're not "doi". The whole sentence was supposed to be: "This is not only more efficient, but (to me) more pleasing because my lights aren't doing double-duty as room lamps". Sorry for the confusion everyone!

This is VERY TRUE, I maybe getting rid of my also I just don't see any coral growth.

An A360 would cover a 20 gallon just fine (even one A160 would be fine for most soft and lps corals). It's just that with one light you would likely get shadows and coral shading, depending on the arrangement of your rockwork, etc. Two lights would probably reduce that issue. That's why I'm going with two A160 instead of one A360.I believe you guys, but not enough coverage for a 20g,....that's insane !

Kessil says that one light will cover a 24" x 24" area. Just be aware that the intensity will be considerably lower towards the sides, so you will want to position lower light corals there. Corals with higher lighting needs should go more directly under the light.
I'm using two A160 on my 20 gallon. I have them positioned so that each covers a 12" x 12" area, with plenty of overlap between them. They're spaced 12" apart from each other, with the pair centered over the tank. That way I have good intensity throughout the tank, with most locations being lit from two directions instead of just one.
