Stick with the Ocean Revives Matt and add T5 supplements.
It'll grow anything. Here's my tank with just those lights.
They are just retrofit. I bought the parts from BRS and added it to a frame I made for the lights. They are 60" long so I also bought the ATI ballast to power them. I call it the AT-Ty poor man's powermodule. [emoji12]I agree. Also, @FarmerTy , where did you get those single bulb t5 fixtures?
Well I can say it isn't the lights but perhaps maybe your settings? What percentages do you have them at? How high off the water? How deep is your tank?Just trying to figure out why my nems close up when light comes on and have coral that is just not growing
Tank is 19 inches deep lights are 8 inches off water just backed down whites to 10% and blues to 50%Well I can say it isn't the lights but perhaps maybe your settings? What percentages do you have them at? How high off the water? How deep is your tank?

I may get flamed for this but I've never been a fan of kessils. I think they are terrible lights, tons of shadowing, too blue, and horrible coverage for a ridiculous price.I moved from Kessil LEDs last November (I have always used LEDs since my first tank) to an ATI T5 light and I have gotten more growth than ever and better colors. I will probably never be going back to LEDs again, Hybrid is an option
Yea the bulb cost is pretty painful.....speaking of which I have to get new ones soon I wonder if the LED "T5" bulbs are any good (off topic I know, ignore it)I may get flamed for this but I've never been a fan of kessils.

T5s are for sure the better set and forget technology but the annual price of replacement bulbs deters me from ever going back to just T5s.
I run 35% blue, 25% white, 20" above my frag tank and everything seems to appreciate it.Tank is 19 inches deep lights are 8 inches off water just backed down whites to 10% and blues to 50%
