[jrozzi]

anyone have success growing SPS with kessil 360w I have a 30g cube
19x19x19, I currently have a kessil a150 and I have a birds nest coral and its only doing OK. I'm hoping the 360 will help with it.

I have a 18x18x18 cube with a Kessil a360we and it's bright as all get out at full power. I'm sure you'll be fine. Make sure you acclimate your corals to the new light.

how would you recommend acclimating the 360, since I already have a similar kessil on there? How many at hours at what intensity should I start it out?

I'm starting mine at the lowest setting and seeing how my corals respond. I just turned the intensity up after two weeks. Now I'll wait and see how my corals respond. Basically start low and work the intensity up slowly. I'm running my light for 10 hrs. The only real way to measure intensity would be with a par meter.

When I get the Kessil Controller I'll be able to set a ramp up and ramp down and acclimate accordingly.
