CJohnson Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have been wanting to switch to led's for sometime now and i'm settled on getting a kessil, but before i do I have some questions.What is your experience with kessil? Could I put just one over my 60g cube and get enough light. I want to mount it with a gooseneck but are there any other options except hanging it since my tank is rimless?

Jimbo662 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 +1 on that light. I had two on a 75g rimless. When I downgraded to a 50g cube (24w x 24d x 20h) I kept one for it. It's got great coverage for a cube. It's got way more light than you really need. I run mine at a max of 43% because I've got mostly acans.

CJohnson Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have a 250w metal halide over it right now. How should I go about light acclimating my corals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I would start with the intensity around 20% and increase it about 2% every 2-3 days. Even though it may not be bright to your eyes LEDs are actually brighter than they look. The color can be set to pretty much whatever is pleasing to the eye. My color is set to ramp up to 35%.
