Need opinion on leds......

Currently I have 2 kessil 150w on a 72 gallon bowfront. In the tank I have sps, lps, softies, and an rbta that are all growing well. I plan on getting a third to balance out the middle of the tank. (which unfortunately has a brace.) I have a buddy that has 2 reefsmart 90w panels. I'm not sure on par reading of either, but I thought of trading so I have more coverage. Also the panels would mount in my custom canopy and the panels do have separate controls for blues and white. My lfs suggested to keep the kessil and just get another kessil or improvise w some strips maybe. Let me know what you think. Happy new years to my fellow reefers! Thanks for your input!

Any chance that he would swap one out for you to try for a little while and see how you like it?

Thanks for the idea Cjo. I guess that's the only way to tell. And take a bunch of par readings I guess huh?

Definitely take PAR readings if you can. The LEDs will likely be much more powerful than the 150W halides and will need to be dimmed for a while.
