Red Sea Max 130 Kessil 150 or 360?

[Jbravo]

Looking to put a Kessil led light on my Red Sea Max 130 was wondering if it would be better to go with the 150 or the 360?

I'd get the 360...

I had a 350 on my similar sized AIO, and I had a tiny bit of shadows on the side, the 150 would have been not nearly enough.

2 360s in my opinion would do everything from SPS to the lowest light acan you can think of. the 150s wouldnt get enough par to the bottom of the RSM130. you can do a single kessil, but it wont light the whole tank and will spotlight/give dark corners.

 

[Smiley]

Definitely 2 of the 360's.

What's the dimensions on the 130?

 

[xxHLTxx]

Should be something like 48x22x26?

 

[CRW Reef]

No a 130 is only 34 gallons and is like 24x20x24. But man $1000 in kessils? Heck I would slap a new AI Hydra 52 on there for $600 and call it a day

I'll probably go with one 360 wish one 150 would work but ill try saving up and look for a good used 360.

 

[Smiley]

Ah hell... Didn't realize it was only 34g. One 360 would work great but an ai hydra would look better and give you more options.

If you are going LED, get a reefbreeders or pacific sun. They are far superior to anything that AI or Kessel offer IMO.

Full disclosure: I would not use any of them, so don't listen to me.

You know I have the rapidled kit on my red see max and I love it! Only costs 250 and is dimable. Not hard to throw in some different colors either! Just a thought.

I have a kessil a150w and it did great on my biocube 29 and nuvo 38. I'm selling it now for $190 if you want it

The 130 and the 130d are completely different. I thought he meant the 130g tank not the 130d 34g tank.

 

[Munch]

Uh huh...

I see, always trying to upsell. He's probably going to need two skimmers, two sumps, and like 6 heaters eh?

 

[xxHLTxx]

Backups and secondaries are never bad to have munch... LoL.

 

[Munch]

I better get a backup Display tank, you guys have an extra 75g sitting around?
