So stayed close to max blue ? I need to break out my senye and check my pars.
I have a maxspect razor 16K 60W in between my 360's for shadow control.
So a possible 240W of Led over a 89G tank should be enough , just don't want to cook anything.

Now I have two 360we on 100% intensity and 100% color for 11 hours!! The corals seem alright.
I have recently added one more 360 we which is on 100% intensity and 40% color 12 hours.
I have a 65 g tank. It has taken half a year to reach these levels.

Backs up my belief that wides just pour out too much light out of the tank.
Only issue with narrows is the hot spot right under neath.
I have very little light spill.* It's all about how high you hang them. With the we model there is less shadowing which is good with these point sources.
*Edit Actually I have some when the pendants are at the tanks edges for a while. Two of the lights are on a light mover.

Has anyone updated their firmware from 1.2 to 1.4?
I've been told the update was just for the user interface ... is it really worth it?
I mean if it doesn't break, don't fix(update) it right?

If it's spilling everywhere put it closer to the water.
For what? The spectral controller? Mine came with 1.04.

Given the par reading wouldn't for a lps softie tank a ap700 be a better solution?
Herbie
Yep,that one
I havent tried an AP700 first hand yet, but that is also an option.
I can tell you that I have always had fantastic results with LPS using 350/360w/360we Kessils . LPS love the Kessil lighting from my experience.
For me, SPS under Kessil is still tricky territory . I have always had much better results with LPS vs SPS using Kessil . From my experience Montipora SPS seems to handle the Kessil , much better than the "sticks". Just my experience.
I would think for LPS and Softies, either 360's or an AP700 will work great.
I like the Apex controllabilty with the 360's . For now, the Apex will not control the Ap700 . I also think the looks of the 360's are a lot sleeker than the AP700 . Gives more room to gain access to the tank with just small 360's hanging there .
Kessil 360 grow and color acros if you have lots of 360's. I've seen it in my tank and others in forums. A long acklimatisation is required though. I agree that LPS ands some sps respond well to less amount of Kessils. My Euphýllia, Monti and Hysterix have shown great growth. The Seriatopora Hysterix is mostly brown however- I'm working on it.

It probably won't run at 5% intensity. The 360 lights get a little sketchy below 9-10%

Ha! Just sent you a pm. Thinking about it, it cuts off at 14% intensity. Oh well, I may just stay at 12 or add 30 more minutes.
