Kessil a160we and spectral controller setup help

[nextlevel808]

I just purchessed a pair and could use some help or advice as to % for color and intensity and hours to run for a 120g 4' tank. I have a few sps corals in tank. I also have the goosenecks and what height should I run them above them tank.

I don't know it's going to be powerful enough for sps. What did you have before? If you do a sunrise/set 12h. 2 hours of actinics at start then ramp up to max power over 2h then max power for 4h then ramp down to actinics over another 2h then actinics for 2h. Thats what I do on my led's

Really no one has a kessil controller that can help?

I don't have one yet; but, after researching these, I found that I'd need an A360W or two A160Ws for a 30-gallon tank. So, I tend to agree with @khh27 that this doesn't sound like nearly enough light.

 

Kessil has a chart that provides some guidelines on their Getting Started page.

 

As far as help with the tuning, I found Kessil support to be very responsive; you might want to give them a try.
