Just Had To Share ...

After ten years out of the hobby I am SLOWLY assembling the pieces to put together my new 60 gallon cube. Never have I been so overwhelmed by the lighting options available today. After long consideration I am fairly confident I will be going with a Kessil a360we light.

Today I was in the next town over from me where there is supposed to be this awesome fish store that has been recommended to me by many. While in town I called the store to ask directions to the store, and then asked the lady if they had any Kessil lights over any of their tanks because I have never seen one in person. She said she wasn't sure and put me on hold to ask. After about two minutes she returned and said that she was sorry but all they used any more were LEDs.

And this is suppose to be a knowledgeable fish store???? I never stopped.

LOL savages. I'd probably do two 160WEs over that tank vs. one 360 just to reduce shadowing assuming you might have SPS in there. One will work, it's just hard to illuminate sps

I am glad you said that because I was thinking about that. I haven't had a saltwater tank in 10 years so I will be starting out slow but would rather purchase lighting that will be sufficient or whatever I would want down the road and not have to buy new lights. Do you know, are the 160WEs strong enough for a 24" deep tank?

I have 1 A360we lighting one side of a standard 120, so the footprint is essentially the same as your cube. The light is set to ~80-90% (no controller) I can grow out frags on the bottom without any trouble.
