i keep going back and forth between either 2 kessil a160we or 2 Radion XR15
for my new and first ever build. I would love to see the 2 in person but dosent seem like that will happen. From what i have read everyone who has the kessils love them. any opinions on these 2 lights would help

It would help as to what size tank you are putting together. I myself have the Kessil 360we and with the Kessil controller and love them. What ever you go with you will have to be careful as most people tend to over do it with the intensity and you will burn your Corals.

Good luck!

its really all personal preference. I personally like the controller better on ecotech/ AI, but im very happy with my 360w light itself. there is also a price factor to consider as you will probably need two of either option. Go look at J&l. They have a kessil running in their fish room, and a radion running on the marine land cube

I will be buying from j&l. i like to buy locally when i can. The only kessil i saw on display was the freshwater version. Either way i have decided to go with 2 Kessil A160WE with the spectral controller. I'm sure i won't be dissapointed. can't wait to get some lighting set up on this new tank
