KESSIL A360WE over a 90g tank ANY EXPERIENCE

Anyone out there have these lights over there 90g tank. I was convinced by more than 1 person i would only need 2. ill be replacing my 3 AI SOL's with these and after turning 1 on im concerned that they will cover the spread of the 48inch wide tank properly. Anyone out there using this configuration. Pointers to pictures would help

I have one over my 65gallon, all my lps and sps growing very nicely

I'v got one over my shallow reef tank. Corals and clams love this light.

I would think you need 3

Standard 90? 48x18? I'd think 2 would be plenty.

A friend of mine discussed this directly with Kessil yesterday. They recommend two 360W's.

I have two over my 75g 48in.

6 inches, maybe. The hanging arms are adjustable.

Thanks. I think there might be too much rock, but for now it's just about all that's in there.

You will need 2 for sure. I have one over my 60 cube, but on that long of a tank, go with 2.

I'd go for the latest and get at least a pair of the 360we's. The price of the a360we's has dropped to $399.

what setting are you guys using

mr_gasket · Jan 8, 2014

I'm also curious what percentages you guys are running as well? I have a kessil A150W ocean blue, and want to switch over to a 360WE without frying my coral initially. Has anyone asked Kessil what intensity and color tune to achieve an A150 intensity and the 3 A150 color spectrums; sky blue, ocean blue, and deep ocean blue?
