Great looking setup! Looking at your tank makes me can’t anxious for my next tank build. Just wish the kessils had something similar to the AB+ program
There’s no light in the world that can color up zoas like the kessils. I’ve tried everything, and can not believe how the zoas color up with kessils!! It’s amazing!
Very good review and awesome tank setup. I'm leaning towards kessil, but I know as soon as I buy a360x they will come out with the Wi-Fi updated version
Hi Terrence, hoping you can help me decide on lighting for my new build... it’s the last piece I’m deciding on. It’s very tempting to just add the 3x hydra 26’s to my T5 and save some cash, but I’m worried I’ll regret not just forking over the (pretty significant) amount of extra cash for the a360x’s and doing it “right” the first time. Your review helped a lot.. but still feeling torn. Any insight?
Sorry, colors do look nice after the blue came on. Is there less shimmer with ai hydra because i am looking at them as well. Also radion gen 4. I like a little shimmer or diso is okay but to me this is to much, how does hydra compare with that T5 creates somuch heat and I live if florida so cant go that route!
I luv the kessils also , had two 360,s, now I have three xr 15 pro, then have to spend another &100 for the wireless which always disconnects, I do get good growth but only use less than 50%, still expensive!
Do you think I could get away with running 3 of these on an 8 ft freshwater? I know these are designed for salt but I love the look they create and want to run them on my freshwater predator tank
If you're not worried about growing coral, yes. But that's a lot of $ to spend if you're not using them for coral growth. I still have these and continue to love them.
@@terranncegilmore thanks for the reply, yes it is Alot of money! That's the big thing I'm contemplating right now. But lighting I feel can really make or break the image of your tank and it's going to be my main show piece in my house so maybe it will be worth it 🤷
I wanted to get the T5 fixture but i cant hang it from the ceiling, is there any other way to mount it? I prefer to mount it behind the tank or glass like the kessil mounts.
Hi there. I’m curious to find out where you purchased the 60” light. I can’t find one on EBay. Seems to be the same ones they sell on there. Thank you.
Color isnt popping though and I dont get how the shimmer is any different than a disco effect! I dont think I can do these..shame. Cant afford radions but man that color pops on them!

They don't have to, because of Kessil Logic. The spectrum is baked in
Terrance Gilmore good point, think I have more research to do

Lol they coming out with the wifi piece now
Lol, one year later, i have the same feeling.
You weren't right though, you would have at least had one year of joy without regret. :-)
Thanks Terry, excellent review/video!
The shimmer is unreal looks so amazing without the t5s. If they didn’t cost so much I would consider adding 2 or 3 more.
does it have a more natural/white light capabilities? With not so much blue

I mean... It's hard to answer that. For me, the A360-Xs were worth it

Very nice review!
It looks very blue. Is it really that blue in person?
The tank looks great. I love Kessils as well. Will you be going to the Queen city frag show here in Buffalo later this month?
The ai definitely less which I like. Is there less ripple on the surface in your small tank?

@@terranncegilmore do you think the a80s would still give me the same lighting effects?
I cant use T5s for nowdo you suggest to just add 2 more 360x? I have a 4fr ta k with 2 currently.

I’m guessing that T5 fixture is from eBay. I would like to know how did you mount the Kessils where the metal halide housing was?
Hi Terrance! Please can you tell us your exact schedule of you 360 x modules?
Thanx
But what about the output, I don’t use a par meter , do you, but brs said that they aren’t much more powerful than the 360’s??
Hi there. I’m curious to find out where you purchased the 60” light. I can’t find one on EBay. Seems to be the same ones they sell on there.
Thank you.
Hey terry tank looks great I have the same set up but have not used the t5s yet do you lose shimmer with your t5s ?
No. The shimmer is less pronounced, but still visible.
Terrance Gilmore ok thank you
Do I need to connect the controller to my A360x tuna sun all the time? Will it run the program I set after I disconnect the controller?
Color isnt popping though and I dont get how the shimmer is any different than a disco effect! I dont think I can do these..shame. Cant afford radions but man that color pops on them!
You have to see them in person not through a phone.
Hey, I just got the lights. What’s your program like ?
Do the lights ever shut off lol I have them I can’t figure out how to shut them off
You have to have the Kessil Spectral Controller or the WiFi dongle to control the lights.
@@terranncegilmore I do I can’t figure it out lol
@@eblouin3413 The Spectral Controller?
@@eblouin3413 ua-cam.com/video/c6KcF9rc0bQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=KessilTube
@@terranncegilmore yes
What size is that tank?
great set up!
would you like to review a grow light for growing macro algae, I could offer the light
Sure
@@terranncegilmore thank you! but how could I contact you to know your receiving address
Where is the skimmer and sump?
REEF BOL equipment is in the basement.
Hey Terry. What lights did you have on the tank before?
AI Hydra 26 HDs
do you have uv sterilizer?
Yes, a Tubotwist 36
I have the hydra 26 hd and mine shimmer ...Great review though
TERRY YO
Ai is hands down the worst with Kessil the best
