yikes now end of july? The 2 I have on pre order went from mid june to end of june to early july... now I'm reading end of july here ? I guess the demand for their products in general are very high that they are being pushed back so much. Crossing my fingers on july...

got mine!

I have 2 units but only using one over this 30x30 cube tank 18inch depth. The shimmer is unlike anything I have ever seen. I have only added some zoa frags from my main tank so far but I have never seen them open like they have been under this light. this is the 15k and I admit I'm sold on the beauty. I will follow up with more corals as I add them

I'm planning to use 2 A150's as supplemental lighting on my 90 gallon reef, once they come available.

They will replace my 55 watt power compacts, which I currently have in the center of my light canopy. My 2 250 watt metal halide's will remain on ends of my canopy.

Once the A 350's come to market, that will surly be a game changer. Add dimmable capability to the A 350 and it's over for most of the other manufactures.

I've seen the A 150's at my LFS and these LED fixtures packs a punch.

They are out now but if you get them anywhere they will more than likely put you on a waiting list. Kessil is still having difficulties mass producing the units. So only a case(15 lights) is being offered to each vender at a time. From what I have been told from David at Kessil the mass shipment of the fixtures will not show for another 5 weeks.

I added some more SPS to the 29 BioCube I have the Sky Blue(10K) over. The polyps are nice and fuzzy so we'll see how it turns out.

extra

I have an extra 15k if anybody is interested. Best offer I can mail it out. I think my one 15 is good enough for now. Maybe i will mix a 10k in with it later when they are available.

Hmmm tempting but I have a a couple more months before I can setup anyway so I am going to see what ppl that have them think for a few months.
BTW PM a price if you want.

I will post my results after i get them and have them running for a bit.

Oh BTW called marine depo they said they are getting a shipment in first week of august.
and they run a little more blue in there opinion and would ad 2-3K the the K rating..so a 10K looks more like a 13K...
anyone else support this thought?

I was gonna say, two on a 30 might be overkill, but i have never seen it for my self.

The unit should be 96watts with a 90 of those watt running the LED. But development is still in action, so we'll see.

I agree with that. The 10K IMO would be a more of a 12K, the 15K looks more 18K-20K and the Deep Blue is just blue. But I am basing my opinion on relative halide spectrums. And we all know how wacky that can be.

I'm going to put some links up in a minute for you guys to see. One is a video. Keep in mind the light isn't even 1 foot above the water... Covers it almost entirely I have no clue how the spread is so good but if you have a variety of corals / various lighting needs it could be nice! I have 3 frags in there from my own display tank i put in and i'm acclimating them to this new light slowly but everything seems to be doing great. thats BRS reef saver rock in there and the light is clamped to the corner overflow for now. Judge for yourself? I think the shimmer looks beautiful. The video is pretty accurate! I haven't even taken the second unit out of its box yet... This one seems adequate with maybe a stunner strip? I have been working to much lately. I will try to go pickup some LPS / SPS frags tonight and see how the light works out. still in limbo on buying the mp40's.. I have two mp10's but this glass was to thick so I have them on my corner tank in the living room. So right now is just a koralia and 2 maxi on the wavemaker mode connected to the reefkeeper.

I have 2 for my 210, I am useing them as my morning and late afternoon light, they do stay on while my main LEDs are going. I don't know why I only ordered two because I need three at least, the price did go up from 235 to 265. They are a very cool supplement, my main led lights seem to drown out the shimmer quite a bit but hopefully when I get my third one it will be better.

I will devaj definately. Just wanted to help you I know it drove me crazy trying to find video's from regular users of the product but I guess those that got their hands on the first batch didn't care to share? But I will be working on everything this week so I will add videos sporadically in the coming days!

I saw these today at a LFS. the 10k really does look more like 12-15k and the 15k model looked very similar to moon lights to me.

Hey man can you post pics of the 10k, or did you already and I'm just retarded. I was going to buy the Sky BLue today at AT but they only had the display model and wouldn't discount it. And if need be supplement with a stunner. If anyone in Phoenix is looking for these Aquarium Arts has them both 10k and 15k with goose necks.

Very interested in this thread. Looking for these lights but I cannot find a LFS in the Austin area that has them in stock or on display. I have to see a side by side of all three before making a purchase, so this is driving me up the wall!

Please when some of you get some pictures in of your 10,15,20k's post them, I need to see!
