Experience with Kessil A150W 15k

Jnickles85 · 07/05/2014, 01:20 PM

Hi, I am looking for some input from people with experience with the Kessil A150W 15k LED light. I have one that I have been using on my tank for about 4 months now and the corraline algae is looking nice. I am just wondering what types of corals I would be able to have in my tank and not just maintain but even see growth from. Would I be able to keep an anemone ? I have a 24 gallon tank. Ill include a picture of my rock work as well.

I have 3 Kessils over my tank, two 10k and one 15k. I have a S.Gig anemone, a clam, and some SPS growing just fine.

Tank looks amazing!! I am just hoping I won't need 3 lights for my 24g.

Sounds good. After I get another clown in my tank and stable I really want to add an anemone. Then some ZOA later once the anemone gets settled.

I attempted to grow a birdsnest (sps) with a 10k it did ok at first but it eventually browned out, I upgraded to the kessil 360 and the birdsnest seems a lot happier with it. To be honest though I was struggling with phosphates a bit when I had the 150 on.

Thanks for the input. I'm not sure if I will venture into the sps area too soon.
