The wide angle lens will help with spread, the XR15 comes with it installed. I think it's an option with the G2 but I believe they came with the narrow angle lens, that might have had something to do...

That's another thing that bugs me about Kessil, they don't publish spectral or PAR charts. Although, to be fair, PAR isn't well measured with LEDs, but you would think they'd post spectral data....

Yeah maybe not, just what I heard. Regardless, 400nm isn't UV. The thing about the Kessil A360WE as well is that the intensity of the UV is supposed to be the same regardless of the colour you tune...

From what I understand, other fixtures have "UV" emitters that are anywhere between 405-410nm peak, which is actually violet. UV is <400nm. I think Kessil (actually, DiCon, their parent company) has...

For me, it's the lack of shimmer. It's nice that on the ati fixtures you can dim the bulbs for somewhat of a sunrise sunset effect, but having no shimmer just doesn't look realistic to me. And the...

Usually the price between these three is within a few percentage points (but not always). I've ordered from all three (Pets and Ponds used to be MOPS); I prefer reefsupplies.ca. I like Ray at Reef...

If I had the scratch, I'd go with the 8 bulb + LEDs. Since I can't afford that, I'm going with Kessil LEDs... I actually don't like the look of t5's on their own, too much like a picture of a tank...

T5HO bulbs come in 24" or 36"; if you buy a 30" fixture, it will just have 24" bulbs with staggered spacing. For a 36" fixture (and 36"/39w bulbs) take a look at this one:

Amazing pic for an iPhone. It's really crazy, mobile cameras keep getting better, pretty soon they'll make those bulky DSLR's obsolete (hopefully).

You can kill your corals much faster with too much light than with too little. I've done 3 dark days at a time, twice a month before; my tank never looked better. Don't know why I stopped, actually....
