Hello hope I can get some answers, I have a 54 gal corner mixed reef that has been going for a couple of years I have been running 2 65 watt PC for actinic lighting and a 250w hqi main light but have not loved the color and I love the blue from the kessil so recently I replaced the PC for the kessil. So now I am using the 250w hqi with the kessil a350w as my actinic.is it to much? Some people say u can't have to much light but it's a lot. some things love it and others hate it what would u guys do if you had same light options go back to olds lights, or is the kessil enough . Aquatic Evolution in orem runs the kessil but is sps suck under it low growth and bad sps color, his other corals are some of the best I have seen color wise so I can't decide. If you are still here after reading this novel I would appreciate some input thanks!

what leds does it have in it? That sounds way over kill. I wouldn't even put 360w on that small of a tank anyway. If you don't like the color, you should check into something with more colors and that is adjustable.

Thanks the kessil has about 6 colors one dim able nob control the white spectrum and another dim able knob for the bluer spectrum I have white turned off but I am starting to think the hqi is to much it's a Hamilton 20 but it's pretty white but for my acros to color up they have to sit on my sand bed
