Wow all dem coral and u don't have a chiller?!! Lucky bastard.

Tank looks good.

[greenlime100]

Nice tank man.

Anyone has a number for nu image?

[nixson]

I lucked out with the angel. I could be wrong but i think the secret is to get them from small. i had this guy from very tiny. two years - he never bothered any coral hard or soft. Maybe after they change from juvenile to adolescent they might start to get mean.

They usually remain model citizens for a while. Once well fed they usually stay good.

Anyone have a flame angel in their tank and its a model citizen?
Thinking about putting one in my reef tank but real skeptical. Hat it when they go rogue.
Was looking at adding some color.

[thatlife]

^ my flame angel was good for about 2-3 months
then it started picking on corals, some corals would remain closed all the time because of its constant picking

i placed him in another tank with GSP and xenias, and mostly rock, some hardy corals like candy candy cane and some mushrooms and its doing fine there, never noticed it picking on any.

[HondaB20B]

^^ thanks for the info. Well i surely aint putting him in then.
The only option i have is the bellus or the lamarck and they no bright in color. I had a lamarck when i first started the tank 4 yrs ago.

[greenlime100]

I had both a flame and coral beauty angel before....never a problem. My majestic used to pick on my brain coral. I may actually add another flame angel this week. Will let you all know how that goes

[HondaB20B]

Anyone have a yellow watchman goby or even the bluespotted watchman goby in their tank. I had one years ago but i was recently told that they actually sift sand. Mine never did this so wanted to find out if theirs do.

Kessil AP700 coming in September, 185 watts & wireless control for $949

Jake Adams


The Kessil AP700 has been a long time coming but as of today, fans of Kessil’s unique approach to aquarium lighting can look forward to the concrete release date for the company’s first fully fledged aquarium fixture. Kessil made a name for itself for basically reinventing what an LED aquarium spotlight could be with the Kessil A150 and then the Kessil A350/360 LED lights.

The new “aquarium panel” Kessil AP700 is the culmination of years of research and experience, and working intimately with reef aquarium hobbyists to find out what they truly want from an aquarium light. With an emphasis on power, control, value and an all-in-one package that just works out of the box without any other accessories required, the Aquarium Panel 700 from Kessil is guaranteed to be one of the most exciting aquarium lighting fixtures to be released this year.

While Kessil has been teasing the AP700 for over a year, with the first official unveiling at InterZoo 2014 in Germany last year. In the interim the Kessil AP700 has enjoyed the focused attention of Kessil’s design and engineering team to bring out a light that users will be truly proud to own. While we’ve seen the AP700 quite a number of times in the wild, at reef shows, and more recently we’ve been using it over some very colorful corals, we finally have a full spec sheet of what this unique fixture is all about.

Kessil’s Aquarium Panel AP700 is a 185 watt “platform” of controllable LED light, with two arrays of 60 LED chips, each consisting of multiple different diode colors. The Dense Matrix Array LED is renowned for its excellent color blending, and with the special ‘hybrid optics’ that has a combination of elliptical reflector and lens, the spread of the AP700 really does a great job of lighting up 48 inch long tanks. The two LED arrays also preserve the eye-catching shimmer that comes from having just a few point sources of right lighting, and in that department the AP700 definitely delivers plenty of glitter lines.

The Kessil AP700 not only looks corals look good inside the tank, the fixture itself is quite a classy affair. The resulting light is incredibly thin while still packing 185 watts of power and running virtually silent. Having all that power is one thing, but having easy access to controls of the different LED color channels is also another big bonus for the Kessil AP700.

Right out of the box you can control the Aquarium Panel 700 with the onboard controller that has five different buttons to adjust color, to adjust brightness, and to turn the fixture on and off. Furthermore, users can also connect directly to the AP700 over wifi and use the available iOS applications to fine tune the color, brightness and daily programming of the aquarium panel without the need for any other devices or hubs.

We are expecting Kessil to reveal some interesting new features and accessories for the AP700 that will be announced in the future. But today the big announcement is the official availability of the AP700 which Kessil will start shipping in the United States in September with a retail price of $949.

This is no minor release for Kessil, they’ve really poured their heart and soul into the Aquarium Panel 700 and this will be the first completely new device from the company in several years. We’ve been using the AP700 for several months now and we can assure Kessil devotees that if they like Kessil’s A150 and A360 LED spotlights they are really going to love the AP700 over their own reef tanks.

Hmm I'll need two for a six foot, that price tho...everyone's complaining about it, $700-$800 would have been a much more accessible price point.

Based on the video tho the reflectors around the optics look more like the A160s than the polished larger reflectors on the A360s etc.
