ati sunpower + kessil a360we
I'm setting up a standard 125g 72x18 and will be using a 60" 6 bulb sunpower.
I like the kessil shimmer but have great success with a sunpower in the past.I was thinking of angling a360we on either end of the tank, would I still get that kessil shimmer with 6x80w t5?.I used to have a reefbrite strip on a 48" sunpower and had no shimmer whatsoever, need that shimmer, lol. |

I would like to know also, I imagine if you could capture the shimmer while keeping the ATI it would be an incredible setup.
I wish I never saw a Kessil in person, that shimmer is something else... |

There's a couple people that retro'd the kessil's into the middle of the ATI by removing 2 center bulbs. I'll see if I can find the thread. They might be able to answer your question though. I love the shimmer too so I'm looking at doing the same or going MH.
Here's one: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2559617 And another: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2427583 And some good ideas in here too: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2554239 Finally found one that referenced shimmer with Kessil and T5's. Basically, still get some: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2471581
