Kessil Lights

Does anyone know One of the Kessil 150 Lights will be enough over a Neo Nano tank with 24.5" x 24.5" x 14" dimensions?

For a fish only tank, it will certainly be enough.

I know someone with a mixed reef tank that size and the light does well on it.\

I'd be very careful about putting any new untested LEDs on a tank. I still have not seen PAR numbers from these, no one knows what kind of output they put out. From what I've seen, they do not appear to be that powerful though. With the wide optics and low power this makes sense. 32w with 120 optics isn't much light per unit area. The "w" is for wide not "watt" there seems to be a misconception that they are equal to a 150W MH, they definitely are not. I'd guess more like a 70W from the feedback I've heard so far. Maybe they are better, but until someone posts PAR numbers it's anyone's guess..
