Kessil A350

[zachfishman]

no the 360 has more power, also make sure you get the latest 360, they have updated them to resolve issues

I thought the only thing new about the A-360 version 2 was an efficiency bump?

 

[bif24701]

Ok, I am looking to get 2 350W for my 120 that is 48"x24"x24". And possibly 2 150 20K Kessil for my full photo period. If not the 150's then another low cost 20K 420nm led strip.

 

[bif24701]

What do the rest of you do to extend the photo period? I plan to have a high intensity period with the 360's for about 7 hours the supplement with something else for a full 12 hours. Thoughts suggestions?

You might want to check your information before posting.

The A360E is an improved version that puts out a claimed 15% more light.

There were no issues with the original A360. They simply improved it.

I run two kessill 350 whom my 57 rimless if I turn them up more then half way I start bleaching my sps

How far away are them from the water? I use my A350s 14'' from the water with no problems...

How deep is your tank ?

I have A350s 6" over a 24" deep tank and my SPS and LPS grow wonderfully under them at full power.

You may need to acclimate them slowly but they love the light.

My tank is also 24" deep. Are your 350s wide models? what's the coverage like around the perimeter at the bottom?

Is a 350/360 over kill for a 20g long (30x12x12)? I have a few sps Acro frags but mainly keep LPS.

I do plan on upgrading to something larger like 55g+ but there's no time frame for that. Could be 1-2yrs down the road.

Technically that is not enough Light as Kessil states each A350 covers 24 Inches and you have a 30 Inch Tank.

That being said though I use an A150 on my 20 Long Frag Tank which is only good for 18 Inches.

How about the a360we? That should be wide enough for a 30".

Yes I have A350Ws and coverage at the perimeter is fine. I have a Trachyphyllia geoffroy, a couple of Palys and some blue Sympodium growing right at the edge of the tank and they're all doing great.

Depends what you are doing.

Kessil says that they are good for 24 X 24 X 24

I mainly keep lps but have a few sps frags.

I'm starting my setup and was trying to estimate the number of A360we's I'd need for a 48x48x20d tank, I'm thinking probably 5 in order to provide overlap and allow me to angle them a bit. Arranged pretty much like the number 5 on a dice. Going to be mainly LPS in this tank but I'm sure I won't be able to resist adding in some SPS eventually, if nothing more then to try them under a different light then my 150 gallon SPS tank

Let me know what you guys think.

5 360s and you won't have any trouble with SPS and LPS. Sounds like a great tank.

 

[3S1K]

That's overkill if you ask me. 2 or 3 with the 90 degree elbows should do the trick. These things are very bright so your not gonna be using max intensity with all 5 running especially with overlap. It has about a 25"-30" spread.

Four would be sufficient for a mixed reef tank. I would put five on it if were more SPS dominant. Love the dimensions of your tank, a large cube is something that I plan to build in the future. Good luck!

+1 Four is good coverage, and you can always add a fifth later.

Wanted to bump this thread. How is everyone liking their kessils a350's? I've only had mine for a few weeks and running ch1 at 50% ch 2 at 30% by reading the last few pages seems I should turn up some.
