Kessil controller due in august...but if you have an apex you can control it also :)
Hmm wonder how much it will cost. The A360W is already $400, so if the controller is another $200 on top that's a pricey light.
Also saw this which looks bloody awesome, but again $200:
They are Aqua Illumination Hydra units. AI isn't very big over here for some reason, but I know a retailer or two do stock them.

Discovered the Kessil controller is going to be $100. So $500 for a controllable unit ...
Given the size and shape of my tank, it's a definite front runner.

Who's controller is the bluefish for? Pretty cool need to look into it but from those pictures seems interesting.
Where did you get a price of 400? Nek minit you let out cost prices out instead of RRP they sell for 499 cheapest I found plus the gooseneck and the controller cables adds up a little but by far best bang for buck, only light unit worth comparing on that price scale is the AI units I really wanted one when I started out they're so huge in america seen amazing tanks with them but here not so much, but that's with a lot of products across all categories
Looks pretty classy but like theres a lot of shading
Was this a Google image search? If not can u link me in a PM where it came from I'd love to read about it

Yeah I was quoting US$. More like AU$500 here. Would have to see what shipping is like.
Unfortunatley not quoting cost prices - no idea who imports Kessils ... I should find out though :D
The main downside of single source lighting. I was thinking about using one or two A150s either side to counter that somewhat, something like this, though probably overkill for my tank. I reckon I'll just scape accordingly, with SPS primarily around the centre.
It was shown on Kessil's Facebook page from earlier this year. No link to more info unfortunately, I'd love to know more about it myself. Stunning tank!
Had to follow up to check out that gooseneck in the above pic as I couldn't see any wires!
Basically US$100-150 depending on whether you go for the 'premium' mount with holding ring beneath.
Premium mount $90
Or I actually prefer the 'slimline' design that doesn't have the base ring, US$50:
Then the tubing/clamp part is $45 for the version that attaches to a rimless tank:
Granted all adding up to the total cost, but for the clean look ... might be worth it, considering the standard gooseneck is $60 including adapter.

I like the effect the Kessil's give as far as the shimmer and shadowing. I'm not sure on the PAR these give out but I saw one at Bunarong on the weekend which one of the guys was playing around with and it just didn't look bright enough to me. It would be better if you were to add more than one and have the light overlapping in the center of your tank.
