    I'm about to order a Kessil A150 for my rsm130, as it looks easy for me to retrofit a new hole in my hood and replace the compacts in it now and still keep the hood working. I'm torn on if I should order the ocean blue or the sky blue model? 1000k or 1500k or even the 2000k deep ocean blue model.

    This is going to be the only light, I'm not mixing it with two of them so my question is would the sky blue 1000k be the best for my coral growth? Then I can add little blue strips to supplement the sky blue model?

    Or should I just buy the ocean blue model and not use any other lights at all?

    Curious what others preference is in the color differences other than the human eyeball view of different color, which one is going to work the best for me as a stand alone primary light?

    Thanks again

    I'm leaning towards the sky blue kessil and a pair of stunner strips for blue and violet.

    well ive only seen pics of the one spectrum, not sure if the others are available yet, Shackman on here is selling his because he did not like them, see if you can ask him for info or to buy one of his

    Its not that i dont like them, i loved the lights, but they arent fit for my sps tank, if i was doing something different like lps and some sps id be keeping them, but since im going sps only, i switched back to my halides!
