Kessill (need advice)

rustydowell · 05/02/2021, 07:34 AM

I have a 265 reef, it’s been up for 15 years.
I have recently switch to Kessill. I have two 360x
Two 160 and one 360we, and one 72 in reef bright. Everything is on the controller. Reef bright up front, 360x on each side 360 we in the middle with the 2- 160 behind it. Top the day the tank looks great. morning and dusk is different colors colors.
Any thoughts or suggestions please

If it looks good let it run, it's the only way to tell if it suits the corals.
Unless you have access to a PAR meter.

I think that you can control the 360 we and the 160 on the same controller, not if you get the 360 X.

Here’s the question
Peak time the colors look perfect
Early morning late afternoon the colors do not match from the 360 X and the 360 WE
Is there anything I can do besides buying another 360 X

I tried to do the same but couldn't match colors either...I ended up adding a hybrid T5 fixture to add the additional lighting I needed and assist with the blending.
