I did look at some videos online and liked the look of the ocean blues. But I do also really like the sky blue/deep ocean blue mix. I don't find the ocean blues to look quite as blue as the videos show and I like the colour spectrum even more in person. I wonder if the sky blues will look a little whiter in person? Which did you order?

I got myself a set of the Ocean blues, I have heard that the videos don't do them justice

Just sold my kessils and regretting it already! Love them and they look great on your tank as spotlights. Seems kinda thin lighting though for a tank of your size and they are not as powerful as a 150w halide some say, but if it works for you then all the power to you and your kessils....btw the a350 will be here very soon if the 150s arent cutting it!

TY, not sure what else to add except I think they are 32w each and supposed to be compared to a 150w metal halide output. I have them mounted on the goosenecks at 6" above the waters surface and 18" to the sand bed. They aren't controlable so I may add 2 of the deep ocean blue's(actinic) later on for dawn/dusk viewing. The spectrum reminds me of the phoenix 14k bulbs(maybe a tad bluer).

I think he was looking for more specifics on the tank. If not I am!

Nothing fancy(equipment wise) except the lights. The tank measures 8' x 16" x 16" w/ dual overflows. Black silicone with bottom trim and a drop down trim on the inner top side to accommodate a somewhat hidden screen cover(for the jumpers). It has a sump that measures 5' x 12" x 12" and the return pump is a Water Blaster 5000. The tank sits against a half wall with a stand that is only 22" high so I can have an easy top down view. I have an ASM skimmer running on the old tank which was going to go on this tank but I think the skimmer's to tall so I'll have to probably get a new one I also have an MP40 which will be going on this.
