I have a pair of Kessil 160we tuna blues linked by a Spectral controller from Kessil. I have each port in the same exact settings, but the lighting their producing is t matching each other. Anyone know of a fix or why this is? The one on the right is much more blue than the left.

Thanks,

Aaron

funny...i was just looking at this on my tank and thought it was my eyes messing with me, mine is not nearly as bad though. What cords do you have them linked up with kessils? i know only one of mine is and was leaning towards that. to see if it would make a difference.

Try linking the two lights from the same port. I have had this issue with the 360x, where the two lights were not the same but not with the older ones.

Don’t know why I didn’t think of switching the ports to check. That seems pretty basic. Lol. So I’ll do that as soon as I’m home and update. The cords are different cords; so maybe that’s it. I’ll switch those too to check.

Made no change. I’m gonna try two new cables and see how that works and will update again.

Try running lights on manual without controller and see if you get different results. I have three 160s running and they are all pretty spot on. Sounds like something is up with the light sans a bad cable.
