Since we posted the Kessil A150W Special Blend LED Aquarium Light on our website for pre-order, we’ve been receiving a lot of questions about its size: “How big is it?” or “Is it as small as it looks?” are what hobbyists are clamoring to know. We decided to snap a few photos of the Kessil light next to some common (and some not-so-common) items around the office to give you an idea of the size. Enjoy!

I just got this new light for my 29 gallon aquarium (LED) and am hoping that it will save some money in the long run. It actually looks better than the fluorescent light i had before. I used my vado HD camera to take this vid.
Question by : Are LED Lights okay for Low-Tech Planted Aquarium? I bought a PETCO Hex Freshwater Aquarium that is 2 gallons.My current planted aquarium setup has white sand substrate, aqueon plant food fertilizer, and LED lighting.I’d like to have a nice carpet of baby tears, but I’m not sure if that could even happen under these conditions.Will the plants like wisteria, anubias, baby tears, etc… grow in this setup?If not, what would you recommend that I change?
Best answer:
Answer by SFOtter While I don’t know the type of LED lighting you have, like is it single or double bright, how many lumens does it produce, etc) there are some answers to your question. Baby Tears require a high light range or they get leggy, taller, and eventually peter out if the level is low enough. Your choice of white substrate is good since it will reflect the light back into the tank. Dark would have absorbed the light and not put it back into the tank. Did you get sand like beach sand or gravel? Sand can inhibit the root growth of some plants and doesn’t allow oxygen and other gasses to penetrate very well. If it’s fine sand keep it to a thin layer of less than an inch. If it’s gravel and not pebbles go with 1.5 – 2″. Never use pebbles. Plants can’t root in them and food falls between them where scavengers can’t get to it and it will foul the water. Wisteria and especially anubias are a good choice. Anubias usually don’t require bright light, grow slowly, and once established are tough as nails. Just remember they prefer to grow on rocks and driftwood. However they can be planted if you keep the “stem” on top of the sand. You could possibly use Anubia “nanna” or “petite” as a ground cover if you are careful about how they are planted.May I suggest you also consider Crypts. There’s a whole host of them out there from ones that hug the ground and only grow to about 1.5″ (great ground cover) to ones that grow 8″ or more. You should also consider Java Fern and it’s 3 forms (regular, lace, and Phillipine which has narrow leaves) and there’s always Java Moss. Yes it too can be used as a ground cover if you keep it trimmed down. These are just a few of the other low light plants that can take high levels of light also. Hope I have been of help.

Question by calwin94: LED Marine / Saltwater Aquarium Light? I was wondering whether its possible to do a custom made LED light since if u buy from the shop the real deal its around rm2500 for LED lighting 2ft.My aquarium measures 2x1x1ft Is it a must to use Luxeon types of LED …which is 3W?Or tin I put the 5mm LED at .2W with many instead to compensate for intensity?Any guide or tips on how i should make it ? E.g. numbers of LED, minimum LED rating..Thanks!(In Malaysia)Its for corals which need optimum lighting. Not those really intense ones. For example.. anemone
Best answer:
Answer by Birdman You can use LEDs, but there are some issues involved. For one thing, you will need an awfully lot of them. I doubt if the .2 W ones will be strong plenty. You will also need to make sure the colour temp. is good, and that the right frequencies of light are actually being produced. Its not that big of a deal for fish only, but it is for most corals and other inverts.People have been playing around with LED lighting in the last few years, so its still fairly new. There are a few commercially uncommitted set-ups available, but they are HIDEOUSLY expensive, and I don’t know what type of LED they use.
