4x5 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I don't agree with you. I would say the kessils is one of the best leds out there. It's definitely better than ai sols or nano sols, buildmyled, ecoxotic leds, etc. It performs as well as maxspect, nanobox, ecotechs imo. There is nothing wrong with the Kessils. They are great affordable lights and coral growth under them is good in my experience. /threadjack Link to comment
DRLOVEtoreef Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 A bag of dicks is what it looks like lol Phone auto uploads to Picasa for me, camera takes a lot of work, plus I'm not done taking pics yet I have to for work and then just forget about them sometimes when I get home if I have something to do Again your knowledge of what a bag of dicks looks like is alarming as your obsession of LEDs ... Nah just razzing u man I feel u on changing after work but my scrubs are usually covered in tooth dust and spit I need to look into Picassa ... I use photobucket now and it can be a whipping If your taking more pics under those bag of dick lights save some space on your Picasa account. Sausage fest at ur house Oh no, those are going in the trash unless somebody wants to pay shipping on them. $47 down the drain. Eh no thanks Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened lol. Yeah, I've been to florida before and it's freaking hot over there!! I don't agree with you. I would say the kessils is one of the best leds out there. It's definitely better than ai sols or nano sols, buildmyled, ecoxotic leds, etc. It performs as well as maxspect, nanobox, ecotechs imo. No way lulu ... The kessils aren't that good ... U talking crazy There is nothing wrong with the Kessils. They are great affordable lights and coral growth under them is good in my experience. /threadjack I agree on the price but for me I hate the coverage and lack of spread ... But I am comparing that to a traditional fixture Link to comment
4x5 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I agree on the price but for me I hate the coverage and lack of spread ... But I am comparing that to a traditional fixture There is and always will be something magically about the light T5s put out. The spread on the Kessil isn't the worst in the world, it just has much harsher shadows. I was planning to go Kessil + T5 supplement to fill the darker shadows but ultimately it was too much of a mission to build a hood and retrofit. Then I was going to go full T5 but would you believe we can no longer buy 24" ATI units in South Africa. Link to comment

They are great affordable lights and coral growth under them is good in my experience. /threadjack That's exactly what I'm trying to say to jediben, I had past experience with kessils too and it really does grow corals well.

Illuiix Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 There's a reason why Kessils won the reefbuilders 2012 led showdown. It's on the packaging lolol. Took a picture for ya. Link to comment

Illuiix Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Yes but you need to understand that Ben will tell you that Macs suck as well, so just ignore him. Lol. True. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Yes but you need to understand that Ben will tell you that Macs suck as well, so just ignore him. Everyone already knows that, though It lives ... Very nice Ben ... Go with two blue plus ... U can balance out the blue with the LEDs down the middle I dunno. Two Blue Plus looks shitty on their own, though. I've got about 54 optical watts (optical meaning it is the radiant output, not the watts of power that they use) of royal blue that I can get from my LEDs, so I'm pretty set when it comes to blue lol. Again your knowledge of what a bag of dicks looks like is alarming as your obsession of LEDs ... Nah just razzing u man I need to look into Picassa ... I use photobucket now and it can be a whipping I like it. Doesn't have the same ease of use that Photobucket has, but there is more storage and no bandwidth limitations (on PB I hit the limit within a few days, and since they disabled their image stats, I couldn't figure out which images were getting hit the most).

That sucks man That's exactly what I'm trying to say to jediben, I had past experience with kessils too and it really does grow corals well. I agree. I'm not talking crazy! If u say so ... I have to agree the price is hard to beat on the Kessils. ... Especially with the number of used ones out there There's a reason why Kessils won the reefbuilders 2012 led showdown. It's on the packaging lolol. Took a picture for ya. Geez that is SOOOOOOOOO 2012 Yes but you need to understand that Ben will tell you that Macs suck as well, so just ignore him. Personally still on the fence on Macs Everyone already knows that, though I dunno. Two Blue Plus looks shitty on their own, though.

I think you will have a hard time blending two different t5 bulbs in the hybrid settin ... At least I did ... It was much easier to get the colors I liked with uniform t5 colors Link to comment
Illuiix Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Kessils beat ecotech radions, aqua illumination and maxspect razors in 2012.. that's tough to beat imo. For leds. Link to comment
