Returning to reefing: want MH look with LED

Noopsyche
I have 6 being shipped right now for the 240

Sounds nice. Looking forward to seeing them.

Kessil is the way to go. Not only is it the most analogous to MH being a point source (so visually it will be similar in terms of shimmer, coverage) but you also have simplified color and intensity control as someone coming from MH to LED. Being used to MH, you might have color preferences a bit whiter than many of the modern LED fixtures and you have to be careful about many LEDs in terms of something visually pleasing may not end up the right intensity or color for keeping corals happy. Kessil is easy in that you just set the intensity and color on a dial as desired and it will automatically make a resulting blend that will be acceptable for corals.

This is a test. iPhone to Mac mini to Youtube to here. 240 with the new lights.

Looks great.
have you measured par?

I just pulled the single K7 III and 2 old Radions down and put up the Mitras. Pleased so far.

I have never measured PAR in my tanks. Right now they are running at 50%. The same as the other tank. I have generated QR codes for a 5 and 10% increase and saved them.

Did you find the calculator that I built helpful?

Yes, once I figured out how to work it.
