thoughts on kessil A150 Led...

I have 2 for my 210, I am useing them as my morning and late afternoon light, they do stay on while my main LEDs are going. I don't know why I only ordered two because I need three at least, the price did go up from 235 to 265. They are a very cool supplement, my main led lights seem to drown out the shimmer quite a bit but hopefully when I get my third one it will be better.
 
Hey ashan thanks for posting the vid! yes I does look like one is working great for you. please keep us posted when you add more corals.

OH BTW I do love the shimmer!
 
I will devaj definately. Just wanted to help you I know it drove me crazy trying to find video's from regular users of the product but I guess those that got their hands on the first batch didn't care to share? But I will be working on everything this week so I will add videos sporadically in the coming days!
 
Nice vid. I want to get something on mine but I think i am the only person in this century that does have a phone or a video camera yet. I see if I can borrow someones.

Oh BTW called marine depo they said they are getting a shipment in first week of august.
and they run a little more blue in there opinion and would ad 2-3K the the K rating..so a 10K looks more like a 13K...
anyone else support this thought?

I saw these today at a LFS. the 10k really does look more like 12-15k and the 15k model looked very similar to moon lights to me.

Hey man can you post pics of the 10k, or did you already and I'm just retarded. I was going to buy the Sky BLue today at AT but they only had the display model and wouldn't discount it. And if need be supplement with a stunner. If anyone in Phoenix is looking for these Aquarium Arts has them both 10k and 15k with goose necks.

Very interested in this thread. Looking for these lights but I cannot find a LFS in the Austin area that has them in stock or on display. I have to see a side by side of all three before making a purchase, so this is driving me up the wall!

Please when some of you get some pictures in of your 10,15,20k's post them, I need to see!

How's the growth on that thing?

It's too early to tell. I am getting new tips on the birdnest, and the frags I glued down are growing over the glue. I don't think growth will be an issue, but the ability to retain color. I have seen too many LED tanks where the coral are obviously growing but every color looks flat. With this Kessil I threw in some browned out acros that are getting some nice colors already.

I have pics on my phone, now if i can only get a signal with my terrible sprint service and my android doesn't freeze up maybe it will down load them.
 
how about lets bring this thread back to life...
it's been a few months and now they seem to be available @ most if not all vendors.
so for the floks that have been using them what are your thoughts? still love them?

and for all the new guys and gals that got them feedback please.

growth?

I am between these and a DIY LED kit.
 
I am still happy. I have been using the 10K over the biocube and everything is still growing. Just got a issue with the water param recently. I made the simple mistake of not checking my RO water and it ended up creepin to 146 TDS. So now the SPS ia a little on the brown side and there is diatomic algae on the sand. whoops.
 
yeah, iam very interesting to get one or two for a 40 breeder. i have sps, lps and clam. Do you think 2 will cover everything? i really like the shimmering, plus the price is more reasonable for small tank like mine.

I just got 2 of the 10K the other day for my 65gallon (36x24x18) is it looks great! Your 40 breeder is same footprint but a little shorter so you should be fine. I love the intensity and the shimmer. I have a couple of SPS and mostly LPS and they're doing fine. I don't have any clams, however.
 
nice! how about posting some pics... my build got put on hold so I am still in the market for led lighting. thinking of doing a DIY so I can dim them at night/evening. that is what these lights are missing in humble opinion...

but I am still thinking about these too. :)
 
Thanks, jluspo. yeah, i would not too worry about the clam as long as the SPS are happy, the clam will happy too. have anyone else been using this light for awhile with corals? Could you tell us how are your corals doing? growth and color. Thank you for sharing.

Here is my single 10k over my 36x18x21, love this light so far probably going to get another 10k in the near future! 2 of these in your 40b will definitely cover everything!
