Hey all I need some input here I am at a loss. I have 4 of those chinese black box fixtures over my sps dominated 90 and they are great. Well until this morning when one of the blue channel drivers blew and now only the whites/reds/greens work, kind of annoying but expected. I am not sure if spending another 100$ on yet another black box fixture is going to be the right thing to do concerning longevity. Unless someone thinks otherwise, please enlighten me.
I have been looking into the kessil a360we. I feel that two would be good for my tank because of the wide angle. I have a 4 foot 90 gallon tank with lots of acropora and a ton of other sps and lps, a few softies in there somewhere too. Do you think they would be too much for my tank? I just want even coverage and lots of growth.
The 4 fixtures with 2 plugs each takes up a whole eb8 as well, I have two eb8's... kind of a drag because I could do much more with my apex. Not really important but it would free up the space.
Also would 2 radions say, gen 2 NOT pro do the same or better? I love the shimmer of MH lights which is what I started on but they are too costly to run and thats why I like the kessils but people spaz about their radions and how much more growth they have then before. Not sure if thats because you just spent 800+ dollars on some fancy LED lights or if they are as nice as they say they are. Of course they are much better than the evergrow lights but how much better?
Side note: I do not care about simulating thunder storms or all that fancy crud, its neat but won't make my acros grow better (at least I think so). So that is not a deciding factor. I am just trying to grow my corals and possibly get some reliable fixtures in this process.
