My new Kessil 360W LEDs (pic heavy)

My new Kessil 360W LEDs
Very excited to get these. They are very $$$$. I have a 100g mixed reef so I need 2 of them for proper coverage. Currently using the Fluval Sea Full Spectrum LEDs but once I started getting sps I realized I needed to upgrade my lights. Apparently my Fluvals don't have or don't have enough UV for sps growth. My green stylo was turning white and assumed it was based on lack of strong enough lighting.
So I ordered them through LFS instead of going online to help them. I feel that if we don't support LFS they won't survive. And price was the same if you include shipping.
Ordered 2 360Ws, 2 goosenecks, and 1 sync cable. Didn't have the cash to get the controlled.
So here they are!

Going to leave my Fluval Sea LEDs on because the shimmer is crazy. Im not sure I like it. Too nuts for me

 

Are Ur going to use both leds fixtures btw tank looks great

 

Think so for now. Until I can figure out my flow to reduce surface agitation.
I haven't taken glass off yet since literally just set it up. If you at the picture I'm thinking of leaving the front panel on and putting Fluval on that. I'll be removing the back panel shortly. Have to remove glass for Kessils to work properly.
Will see. Not sure.

 

Sorry forgot the pic Thinking I'll leave light on that front panel since I have to remove the back glass panel

 

Looks good ballgame. I did the same for my 120. Just remember they are much more powerful so easy does it on acclimation.

 

You have to remove that glass panels I had it on my tank but got it removed as they were reducing my light effect

Light was not reaching at bottom on my tank what is your tank height

 

Yes thanks. The controller had a setting to acclimate but since I don't have that going to run 30% for 2 weeks. Then ramp up slowly

 

Yes correct I've done that. Pics were right after set lights up.

 

Looking good! You'll get used to that shimmer and grow to love it.
