Kessil A360WE
- Thread starter bif24701
- Start date
I have just spent the last two hours reading over other LED sections. In every thread the majority of the discussion is on how to run them. What settings do I use? Intensity do I start with? Am I using too much blue/white/red/ green? How fast do I ramp up/down? How do I get your colors? My corals are brown are my light to bright dim? When do I increase intensity? Why did my corals bleach? Why did some of my corals lose color? Every thread seems like the same thing. They report browning and bleaching, also some corals look ok and others look bad, some grow some don't. Same thing over and over: I'm havering problems! What am I doing wrong? I'm talking about Radions, AIs, and as many others as I could read. Has it occurred to anyone that maybe the problem is with the LEDs?
I haven't read anywhere that someone had these kinds of problems. Have you?
My corals are doing great! Mine are running 100% for 9 hours and never bleaching or browning. Now growing and color has improved since I bought them.
My Duncan sprouted new polyps.
I totally agree to this point. Kessil are just quality light.

I got mine a few days ago and feel the same! It's funny, I read so much stuff about the shimmer and rolled my eyes, but it really is amazing.

I'll have time tomorrow to take pics. Just got my whole tank setup this past Monday and the water is almost crystal clear. Oh and page king. lol
So I got my 360we mounted!!!! Just needed some info on how high I should run it??? It's about 13in above the water line. Tank is 36x24x12. I've been battling with some cyano and been lights out for the past 2 days so I won't be able to run em til Tuesday...although I might just run em for a couple hours tomorrow lol I plan on runnin em at 50% intensity and gradually increasing everyday. I'm switching from an AI Hydra. Here's a pic

I only run mine about 6-7 inches off the water but I'm also 24x24x24. I'd lower it to the point where the light spread is hitting glass just below the water line on the sides and go from there.

I would honestly stagger them like . ' . ' . ' . and you could get away with 7 and still get better coverage. it wouldn't be as rediculous as : : : :
I don't have much experience with the 360WE's as mine has only been running a month on my Nuvo 38, but I am about add another to get better light coverage since I only run 4" off the surface. I would be surprised if you get proper par for growth with the fixture being so high above the tank. You are covering a larger areas but at what cost??
I cant imagine you needing 2 360s for a 38. People use 1 360 for a 60g cube.
Guess you haven't seen my tank and I would guess they wish they could add a second
I would like to see it.
