I used Kessil A350 for 6 months and switched back to my PHX metal halides.

I have been much happier since I switched back.

Much better growth under the metal halides and nice color.

To me, metal halides are a better lighting solution.

Thanks for weighing in, grigsy! There are members of our staff who also prefer tried-and-true technologies, like metal halide and T5, even after trying various LED light fixtures.

Kessil emailed me as well. Just in case anyone is curious. These are the exact words.

"Kessil Lightings holds a 1 year warranty outside of the USA and has a 2 year warranty if the light is purchased in the USA and stays in the USA."

Thanks for following up to clarify!

I just installed three of these "We's" and they're unbelievable. The shimmer is so nice. Love the shadow effect too. Here's some pics.

We are big, big Kessil fans. Thank you so much for sharing this thread with us. Looks like we aren't the only RC members impressed with your tank.

Thanks! Love your store. Just wish I could go in and pick out what I wanted instead of waiting impatiently for the UPS guy...haha

We do have Will Call, although if you're nearby I assume you already knew that.

http://www.marinedepot.com/Marine_De...l_Call-ap.html

We've been discussing the idea of making our office more shopper-friendly for visitors. If you have a vision for what you'd like to see, feel free to reply with some ideas and I'll pass them along to our COO for consideration!

I knew of Will Call. I am always tempted to go when I'm visiting my parents in Compton. OC isn't too far from there anyway. The 1-2 hour processing time for the order is what stops me from going. I'm an impulsive buyer at Lfs....haha
The more products I see the more I want.

I hear ya. I'll chat with the team about making orders immediately available. Impulse buying is definitely OK in some instances. lol Might as well take advantage if we can!

I remember my couple of Will Calls
1) Ring bell
2) Wait for door to open
3) Get box of goodies
Improvement, nice lobby with some of the new stuff on display.
