QuoteReplyTopic: Kessil A80 vs A160 Posted: October 12 2019 at 6:58pm
I have a Bio Cube 32 Gallon LED. I'm looking to take off the hood and put on a Kessil LED light. Im trying to pick between the Kessil A80 and the Kessil A160. As for corals i'm mostly planing on Softies and LPS. maybe an SPS but I don't plan on it. Is the A160 over kill? Or is it worth the cost to upgrade? Thanks!

I am just getting back into the hobby and have been saving for a 360x for my biocube 14. But I also plan on upgrading to a larger tank around hobby supplumentation time aka tax season. I figure buy once cry once. If you plan on upgrading to a bigger tank I would buy the light you want for the bigger tank and just turn down the intensity till then. I think an a160 would do great on that size tank.
I had 4 of these on my 6' 180 gal. I was growing some SPS near the top at 100% intensity. If you just have soft coral and they are at the top I would start at 60% and ramp up to 80% over a few weeks. As far as schedules go I had mine ramp up/down for 3 hours on each end and then 5 to 6 hours of my daytime intensity. I hope that helps.
