Radion Pros Gen3 or ATI T5HOs Supplemented by Kessils

[ReefCartel]

For my newest build. For a 4' tall would you go with Radion Pros Gen3 or Kessil 360 Supplemented with T5Hos?

Also, I was thinking of cutting off the center support piece on top off my tank to remove that extra 3" of shade that will block my light directly down the middle. What ya'll think?

I'm running Kessils with (4) T5's and am pretty happy with that combo. I definitely would not cut out your center brace, unless you're planning on replacing it with a clear acrylic brace that somehow bolts in place. There is a reason it's there, and you'll quickly find that out if you cut it out.

Ok cool. What T5 bulb combos do you have?

I didnt want to cut it for that reason but its kinda weird how i can actually bend It, seems like its not really supporting anything. I originally thought is was meant to support a top cover but I wont cut it. i can probably re-position the kessils to light up the shaded spot right under the center Brace.

Here is a pic of 3 Kessils on my 4' long tank. 2 will be fine with t5s for support

Nice. You have any acros in there too?

 

[Eckolancer]

Not kessils the whole time but grown under leds the whole time. Kessils have been running about the last 6 months. Tank has been up for 18 months.
Reefcartel do you mean acans? If so I do have some acans growing nicely.

 

[jvb89]

How is your sps growth with the kessils?

 

[Eckolancer]

Better then DIYs that I had in the past.
