Some may recall my lighting experiments with my Magnifica anemone. Not going to go through previous posts apart from I have been using 2 Asta 20 daylight LED spot lights over it with great success.
I had been doing a little research and wondered if I could improve even further. I had a look at a number of freshwater plant lights in a single spot light form to replace the 2 Asta lights and with even more power.
Given magnifica nems are light loving with ⁹most found on or not far.off the waters surface it makes sense strong daylight is a good light source for these beautiful animals. I narrowed the availble lights down to a couple finally deciding on a Kessil 160we tuna sun.
Wasn't going to pay for a new one so the search was on for a good secondhand one at a price I could just afford, after a it's an experiment and I want to be able to recuperate money spent on one.
After a couple of weeks I did a deal with somebody on Facebook including a gooseneck for a reasonable price. Said light was installed this afternoon.the colour temp was positions fully over to the hint of blue with the power set at around 1/3 full on.
Now to adjust the Kessil as required and monitor the results.
