Kessil Controller Settings... What has worked for you?

[Steve Tobias]

So... I am interested in finding others that use Kessils with the controller. I want to compare the settings that you may be using that have shown the best results for your aquafamily.

What Kessil do you use?
Tank specs?
Screen shot of the preview settings? (even with Apex or other)
What have you seen PARwise at top/middle/bottom?

For me:
75usg 21" height
2 Kessil a160we Tuna Blue LEDs

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't have par meter and I do not use apex wizard. But here is my timing
I run the lights pretty much 50/50 Int and color. Except during ramping my lights ramp up to 90%
Montis grow like weeds. Acros grow very well if j can keep my nutrients under control.

Just curious, how far off the water surface do your Kessils hang?

They are about 10" keep in mine my tank is only 20" tall.

What about intensity? I have mine on gooseneck 18" above the water at 70%, no crazy growth or coloration just stays the same pretty much. I have mixed SPS and LPS

18" from water is way to far. I would lower them to about 12 and change intesinty to 60%
Then slowly increase intesinty I run mine at 90
