what's the largest tank I can cover with a single kessil 350w?

[OOtzie]

I have it over a 20gal aio , I want to upgrade how big can I go?

I have done some research and it seems a 40breeder is recommended but that info is out dated someone must have stepped up to the challenge. I'm looking to avoid a cube , maybe a 50breeder?

With any pendant , it will cover a cube the best , however you could definetly do a 50 breeder but you will have to hang it higer and will have lower light on the outsides than the center , i personally will be buying 2 for a 90 gallon which means that each would cover 24 inches in legnth , realistically the best tank would be a 24 cube i think

with a 40 you will def. need 2.....

I might be able to get away with a 50breeder, I'm looking for more input if anyone else has been using the fixture

I've been using the kessil for over a year now with great results on SPS. I'd do 2 on the 40g and you should be able to keep anything.

Two350w?! Its bright this sucker and I have light about 8inches on each side plus the 20in its currently covering. At 100% blue & white I'm confident it will do well especially if I move sps higher.

I have the A150 (Not the 350) over my 40g as a long term test... Definitely needs 2 to properly light 36".

On kessil web site it states a kessil 350w is good for 24 inches. You can get a little more out of it if you raise the light up higher.

Personally I would say 2 fixtures on a 36", 3 on a 48"

ive seen one cover a 65, dont expect to keep a lot of acros tho

Maybe 24x24x24, 69 gal cube ... but I don't want it.

I think you need another kessil to get what you do want..
