Cool set-up there! Does the Kessil 360 does not have enough spread and that is why you have t5's or this is more like a preference? Thanks!!

Thanks! I think so. But it might be due to my aqua scape. So i added the two t5s to cover the rest. I think i would rather have a different light all together to have equal spread across the tank.

I see.
Does the 360 have the capability of ramp up/down/sunrise/sunset?

I run the Maxspect Ethreal and its plenty of light I am only running it at about 60 percent any more then that is way to much. And I control it off the app and works great.

Where was this thread a month ago? Santa brought me an IM 40 for Christmas and I have an AI Prime on top. Just put in my first coral today but it seems to be reaching all the the way to the bottom judging by the brown algae starting to grow on the sand [emoji51]
