Kessil vs Ai

[Giovanni Guzman]

Setting up a new tank that is 90 gallons (48×18×24). Im trying to decide if i want to go with 2 A360x or 2 Hydra 64 i know both will grow coral just fine but can't figure out witch one? Which do you think will be the better one?

I feel that the Hydra has better spread. However, I feel like you could do fine with reef led90 which would save you a ton of money.

It is more expensive but someone mentioned this in another thread and it looked nice.

To be honest the look of the red sea ones don't satisfy me like the look of the kessil or hydras do

I love my 360x. As BRS pointed out in their video the spread is great and of course it’s super easy to setup. I’ve never ran AI so I can’t comment on those. I jumped from radions into these and love them. The gen5 are tempting though... lol

I've always never like radions but yah the new g5 do look nice but nah not an option. That 900 price tag is a huge turn off

A 4 foot tank really needs 3 lights at a minimum unless it's 2 full size radions I had 3 at one time over mine then switched to kessils 2 at first then could not deal with the light separation in the middle of the tank. I had 3 kessils over it and just recently went to 2 kessils with a radion xr15 in the center it actually made the tank look amazing both color spectrums from both major companies.. that's my vote the kessil is an amazing light with the best shimmer.
