Hey guys, I have a 48” 90 gallon with a 6 bulb t5 fixture
2 blue
1 pink
1 purple
2 10k

I want to have more adjustability and be able to have a peak time where I can change the range or possible turn my 10ks off and keep the blues and pink/purple.

My question is what would be the best choice for my tank I was thinking of possible one kessil ap360we in the center with a gooseneck or possibly al prime hd. Here is a picture of my tank. I love the lights but to me the 10k is too white and would like to dim or diffuse them.

On a 48inch tank you are going to need 2 spot light types. Maybe I missed it, but why not switch out the 10K for a blue plus or a coral plus or something?
 
Have you installed the kessil yet? How much do you love the new color and control!? Amazing difference right?

I love them but going from t5s it’s very dim to me. I just got the aquatic life t5 hybrids and the ballasts was shot I’m so mad. Now deciding if I want to just get another ap700. I currently have it 18” over the water ramping up to full power at 1.

Oh I thought you were leaving the t5s and adding the kessil, which it sounds like you're trying to do. Yeah kessils only is definitely dimmer than t5s unless you are brave enough to run them very high all day. T5 kessil combo is the best of both worlds!
 
Hi, I have a 75 gallon tank and I use 2 Kessil a360WE, each Kessil cover a max area of 2 feet x 2 feet.
