Kessil A80

[2Shainz]

Just put some new pieces in my tank after getting my water parameters back to where they are ok.
Just curious if anyone has a good lighting schedule for LPS growth for the new A80?

You mean like photoperiod? Just run the lights for 8-10 hours.

I am on a 10 hour photo period. What I'm asking is if anyone has a recommended schedule for different color and intensity percentages that they have gotten the most growth out of.

From what I've heard the Kessil logic states that no matter what color you adjust to it has the same spectrum somehow. So I assume the color is personal preference only. As far as the intensity I'm clueless.

I have the a350w it was replaced by the a360w. The a350w is only turn knob controlled but you have way more color blending spectrum options with it.

When the a360 came out you got WIFI control and able to daisy chain lights together. It also has "Kessil Logic". So what ever you set your color blend to, the spectrum is still healthy for corals and I think Kessil made the right decision.

They are some hard core Kessil reefer's out there that are not as happy with the a360's over the a350's becuase you could do some awesome looking color bleeding but that was not always good for coral health.

You can still blend color on the a360 to what you like but it does stay in that Kessil Logic spectrum.
Once you set the color to what like then you can push the intensity higher or lower of the color you picked.
