What are the two black buttons on the power supply for?
Kessil AP 700 Owners Gather Here!
- Thread starter Confuse
- Start date
I'll have a look, but my guess would be fuse(s)?

It's probably GFCI -- one tests it, one resets it.

2 Kessil AP700's on my180
2 Kessil AP700's on my180
I have a 60 x 24 x29 Custom Acrylic Tank and 2 AP700's . I did something and now my Lights won't come on with my program on the kessil iPhone App. I have been running them in a manual mode, but I think I just need to reset the Kessils and start the Acclimination mode over again.
What do you think my highest intensity should be? I am thinking nothing more that 45% Maybe too high at this point. I have had the light for about 3 weeks now, but the lighting has been all other the place (so to speak).

Have a 80 gallon 48x18 can I get away with 1 for sps

Not really
I have to disagree. I have a 75 with the same footprint. Mixed reef, but definitely sps dominated with one fixture. You just have to be a little more cognizant of what sps goes where.

I'm 15" from the water line to the bottom of the fixture and I've been running at 85%. I've ran as high as 90-95%

That's not exactly sps dominantHere's a FTS from July

Well I did mention it was a mixed reel "œdominated by sps", meaning far more than half of my corals are sps.
Also the original question was would be good with one fixture for sps....not sure if he meant a strictly sps dominant tank or something like I have. That would be up to him. I posted the pic to give an idea of what exactly I have. Sorry for any confusion with terminology.

Sure, you can get away with it. Not optimal, maybe if you added a couple T5s. I think you can grow basically whatever you wanted as long as you considered mounting height and placement. Avoid the highest light hungry corals until you are sure they will be ok, try just a few.
Also keep all this in mind when it comes to the aquascape.

I'm just very mixed between. A kessil ap700 and two g4 radions. I️ want most user friendly. Not a very technical guy. Want more of a plug and play. I've been hearing good things about g4 with there uploaded proven preset

If you want mainly sps I would probably go with 2 g4s. But Kessil is probably more user friendly in the setup.

I have an AP700 on my SCA 66g for a year now. Have not seen any Coralline algae growth, which is currently restricted to the Live rock that I added last year to seed the tank.
Any help with increasing coralline Algae? I am dosing Kalk in my ATO + Adding Seachem Magnesium, and Reef trace elements
Thank you!

kzaveri, be careful what you wish for. Coraline can take over to the point it can become a nuisance too. That being said, I have a very low nutrient tank and was asking the same question the other day to some buddies at the LFS. I'v e not seen a piece of it in 6 months. That algae competes for the same nutrients as other algae, its jut more aggressive. that's why it usually takes over. So low nutrients could be a reason. And that's not a bad thing.

This video just came out at BRS. Thought it shared some good info. Got me thinking about my own tank. I have a 48" x 22" mixed tank. The max I've had my intensity is 55%. I run around the 2-3 blue color on the color wheel. This video recommended 100% intensity for mixed reef of a tank my size with the optimal color being the 4th blue from the bottom. I'm curious what others think and what your intensity is?
I thought I'd experiment a little and plan to adjust my intensity 5% every two weeks and see if I notice a difference over time. At the moment, coral growth and expansion looks happy and healthy. So its got me curious to say the least.
