Kessil A360WE

So did anyone ever try using a different stereo cable to link them together. I would love to know so I could save some money and get the lengths I want.

Yes it works fine.

Just get a 3.5mm 2 pole stereo male to male.

2 poles = 2 black rings around the plug, somehow there are 3 poles ones out there, single poles are mono.

I am looking for something like this (below) without the ugly coil. That 90 bend looks sharp without sticking out.

Very nice! tank looks great, do you have a thread?
 
robert s b really nice tank. Have you seen great growth? How high do you have them from the water line?
I to would really like to seem some par reading.
I just bought three and have hopefully a 4th on the way. Currenty though I am only using them to suppliment my metal halides for view pleasure mainly. I love the look when the kessil are on by themselves, but I am just not sure about them on there own.
 
Need opinions from Kessil owners, would 2 360WE's be enough for a mixed reef 75g tank (48"x18"x21")? I really want to be able to keep LPS/SPS/anemones/clams/etc...

Thanks!
 
Hello everyone. i was told i only need one of these on a 36x18x21 will i have problems at the edges? Will be mainly an sps tank.

for sps I would get two. they are rated for 24x24 coverage I would think you will have problems on the edges.
 
Yeah that's what I thought too. For some reason the person selling them said I would only need one for that tank size. Thanks tho I agree with you.
 
I don't remember what they were but par numbers were low when I just ran 2 on my 75. I added 2 t5's to the mix to fill in the shadows a little and par was still not to my liking so I added 2 more. I've since taken off 2 of the t5's and added 2 more a360's. So right now I have 2 a360we running at 90%, 2 a360n run at 75% sitting about 5" higher than the we's and 2 t5's (ATI blue+ and coral +). A360's are run at 65% color for 10 hrs a day (1 hr ramp up and down). T5's are run for 6 hrs a day right in the middle of the lighting schedule. Overall par numbers are equivalent to my Radium MH setup and color is excellent. I've only had it this way for a couple of weeks so I can't say much about growth. I do have a Maxima clam on the bottom glass and it's getting about 300 par centered almost directly under the led's. If I remember correctly when just running 2 a360we my par in the same spot was around 130 to 150. Not enough in my opinion. Happy reefing all.
 
I would like to have another on a 24" width tank, so take that for what its worth. I only have it 4" from the surface since I don't understand how raising the light for better coverage isn't going to result in much lower PAR readings. Currently running 11% color all day ramping to 80% intensity using a RA and plan on going higher weekly as long as the corals keep responding well.
 
two weeks ago I participated in a live sale with reef raft usa. I bought some nice sps frags I have am IM nuvo 30 with 1 kessil 360we. To all the people who say LEDs wont grow sps I am already seeing substantial growth on the two sps frags I bought. The dantes inferno is already starting to branch in two different places and has colored up very very nicely.

Took you advice and went with four for me 150gal. Can't wait to get these set up!

I was able to get one as an open box item from saltwateraquarium.com but all seam to be sealed so bonus I guess.
