If its a 4 foot tank you will need atleast 3. I personally I have not been satisfied with growth from mine. I will be switching to T5s as soon as I can talk my accountant into it.I was going to get 2 360s for my 90gallon should I reconsider.
Yea, I have two 54 watt T5s with my kessils now.I also supplement with two 80W T5s. If you swap to T5s, make sure you acclimate your tank residents slowly.
You can get the shimmer from halides as wellI have two 360 w and have been running for
Two years. One of my lights just a few weeks ago lost the blues .
Warranty out of course. Not sure if I would buy Kessil again.
But that shimmer!
I called Kessil and they will take a look for a minimum fee to see if able to repair. They did not sound hopeful but gave me a one time option to buy for much less.One of the guys at a LFS said he dropped his A360 in his tank and Kessil replaced his soggy lamp.
Yes, I do love the shimmer, and ramping them on my apex is nice. But I defiantly going to T5s.I have two 360 w and have been running for

If you lost all of one color, it's probably a board issueI called Kessil and they will take a look for a minimum fee to see if able to repair. They did not sound hopeful but gave me a one time option to buy for much less.
I know that's right. That's one of the reasons I tried them over halides on this tank.Yes, I do love the shimmer, and ramping them on my apex is nice. But I defiantly going to T5s.
The whites are weak on the left light. I noticed at the sunrise ramp this morning that the right side of the tank was much brighter .If you lost all of one color, it's probably a board issue
Dude, that stinks. I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you can find a lightly used one on the cheap?The whites are weak on the left light. I noticed at the sunrise ramp this morning that the right side of the tank was much brighter .
I use both Radion G4 and Kessils. Both have a nice shimmer but the Kessils shimmer is more pleasing to the eye and is a much crisper shimmer.Do you know if Radion users have the same shimmer or is the light source too diffuse?
+1. I run A160's with my ATI T5 can't beat the comboI have three and one went out after the warranty, so I call Kessil and they offered me a new unit for a reduced price, the offer was good so I took it. I love the Kessils but on a large tank, supplement with t5's. You will get the PAR and coverage plus the shimmer.
