kessil on a 90 gallon

mrred · Sep 19, 2015

I found a GREAT price on a pair of kessil A350 tuna blue. My tank is 24" deep 48" wide . my question to you kessil lovers is do you think they will work on my tank or should I hold out for some 360WE? I just don't want a "spot light" effect with the narrow focal. Any first hand knowledge of the A350's out there?
Thanks

Bump for anyone who has kessils and can help.

I will say (although I've never owned a Kessil), I've noticed that with LED's the question of spotlighting often has to do with how high above the water the light is mounted. The higher you go, the more spread you get. Hopefully someone with specific knowledge will chime in.

Thanks for the help. I was hoping for the same, specifics. I have a canopy on my tank, while it is taller than most I am not sure if cutting hole in the top is somthing I want to do. I have found some information on the Web but it's only opinion, I did find information on the 160we on a 90 gallon but it seemed a little under powered. I will just keep looking or spend the money and role the dice.

I have 2-A360 we on my 75. They should be fine on a 90. Kessil says they cover24x24 inches

I have 2 A 360we over a 49 gallon tank, 36" long. The WE versions are 15% strong, according to Kessils site, something to think about. Anything specific you planning on growing in this tank? If you plan on going specifically SPS, you shouldn't have an issue, but I would invest in a third, if anything, but thats just cause I like to have more light than not enough
