Lighting question:

[Rob Willett]

Hello everyone!

I would like to ask for some opinions. I have a good friend who has given me all of his lighting from a large system he has torn down. He has given me eight AI Hydra Twenty Six LED units and four Kessel A360W LED units.

My tank is a Red Sea Reefer 350. Obviously this is too much lighting for my little tank. Prior to receiving this gift from my friend, I was going to buy 4 Kessel 360X units for my tank.

My question is this: Would I be better off using a few of the Hydra Twenty Six units or using the four 360W units?

Any opinions are appreciated.

Kessels are great some of best you can get.

Wow, I wish I had a friend like that!

Both are great lights, I have never ran Kessels but I like my hydra 26's enough that I plan to buy a couple more down the road.

I don’t think you could go wrong here. I use kessils and t5’s.

Hydra 7 channels of colors
Kessil 1 channel of color
I know what I would choose

I don't understand the lack of color choices with Kessil and why ppl go goo-goo over them...I really dont. Give me color control
