So were thinking of doing this. Does anyone have objections and why? We've been on the Kessill site and also looked up some posts on reef central. NOthing to solid one way or another.

I think you would be good with a couple....birdworld has 1 over a biocube, and seems to have great color... sps would probably have to kept higher in the tank, but I think it would do fine

Mountain Shadows Marine in Centerville has a couple on their tanks if you would want to see them in person to decide.
I wasn't too impressed with the 150's myself.
They are set up in the back tanks along with a Cannon 300 and another with AquaIllumination led's
That way you can pick the look you like.

I've seen them at bird world as well. I think they look nice and clean. I'll bet you'd want 2 or even 3 of the A150 if you have SPS. this is a light I WANT to like but I haven't decided. I started looking at them to go over my new 60g frag tank (24x48) but figured I'd want at least 2x of the 350w/360s to get the coverage I want. They do seem to make for a nice display and I'd love to hear from someone using them.

I do have sps but I have more softies than anything else. And I already know to put them higher up in the tank. Also I want dark spaces on the sides of my tank for gorgonians. So I think the 150 is the better size for me.

Pricey lights if you aren't sure about it.  But very slick looking.

I have 2 of the sky blue 150's on my 65 and I think it is perfect. It was a big difference from the vho's that I was used to, but the longer I have them the more that I like them.

Ok, So I've read about 10 reviews (yes from different sites) and I've gotten advice from many experienced hobbyists. I'm going to save up for two A150W..I'm so excited that I just peed a little.

I'm pretty sure when that happens I'll need to shower because I'll break a sweat of excitement!

I'm thinking sky blue, ocean blue is a bit darker. I haven't seen the tuna blue but I'm not sure if they offer it for the A150W. And that's the one I want.
