Kessil v SB Reef Box?

[ndz98]

If it were you, which one would you buy? I'm torn between the kessil a160 and the SB elite 16 in ramping. They both cost the same but I would have to pay another 100 for the controller for the kessil. Other thing is I think the SB lights are pretty new to the market and it seems there isn't many reviews on it yet because of it. Here's the links to both.

SB lights are worth a shot. Looks like they attempt to get the correct wave length of light. Also they come with the mourning brackets or hanging kit, where Kessil doesnt.

Kessil is a more proven option and has a track record. If you are after the UV aspect of it, then Kessil is the way to go.

I would strongly consider the SB in this instance for the extras and not needing the controller.
